1. Protection Device against IED Prof. Dr. Michael Hendrix Hendrix Informationstechnik GmbH

2. Configuration: Tunnel Geometry The IED-Protection Device during tests by the german police.

3. Essential Characteristics closed system drastically reduced shrapnel dispersion significant reduction of the explosion pressure elimination of the explosion flame compact storage simple manageability and usage easy handling In the future: shielding of remote detonators removable lateral surfaces

4. Exemplary fields of application transport and logistics (airports, train stations etc.) energy sector (power stations, power lines etc.) tourist facilities venues (sport, congresses, conventions etc.) shopping centres, pedestrian areas industry (chemical plants, oil/petroleum depots etc.) health and sanitation (hospitals, purification plants etc.) communication installations police stations, political establishments, security forces

5. Trials: Experimental Setup

6. Trials: Explosive Used 1 kg PETN (Nitropenta) 30 Nails 120 x 4 mm Detonation Velocity: 8400 m/s Explosion Temperature: 4200 K

7. Detonation without Protection Device

8. Shrapnel effect without Protection Device Result: significant shrapnel damage

9. Detonation with Protection Device

10. Shrapnel effect with Protection Device Result: no visible shrapnel damage

11. Explosion Pressure Reduction Readings provided by:Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) Reduction down to 45 % of the pressure without Protection Device.

12. Variants: Fixed Construction

13. Variants: Foldable Construction In folded state the Protection Device fits into the trunk of a passenger car.

14. Other Systems: Ground Bomb Killer open at the top expensive (> 20.000 €) low reduction of shrapnel dispersion shielding of remote detonators not possible poor manageability German Police classification: not effective

15. Other Systems: Bomb Blankets simple blanket made of Aramid very low reduction of shrapnel dispersion poor manageability contact with object not avoidable German Police classification: not effective

16. Our System: completely closed system high reduction of shrapnel dispersion significant reduction of the explosion pressure elimination of the explosion flame simple manageability, compact storageablity shielding of remote detonators possible no contact with object German Police classification: meets all requirements
