Dear all, One of our current projects is supporting the US Army Tacom in identifying companies interested in commercializing a technology for a new apparatus and method for ballistic protection of vehicle undercarriages. This invention is a method for the ballistic protection of military vehicle undercarriages. In use, it is immediately positioned below a military vehicle to protect the crew compartment positioned above said apparatus by extending transversely between the propulsive means and laterally along the direction of travel for the vehicle. The apparatus may detonate mines while operated by driven engagement over mine bearing terrains, but it will do so in a manner sufficient to defeat them without inducing unacceptable damages to either the vehicle or crew. It provides a means to effectively disrupt the firing sequence of
the explosive charges in the mines by contact with the minimal weight roller link chain. The patent documentation can be found at
