Abstract

A system of Fragmentation Protection is disclosed having additional synergistic shockwave protection and reaction characteristics. The methods include applications to vehicles, chassis, frames and robots where a shell, containment guard or barrier system is needed. Force Protection for IED / Mine events and other ballistic threats, fragmentation and shockwaves is established further allowing for synchronized mobility within those austere environments.

Embodiment Construction

[0032]As shown in FIG. 1, is a new use non-conventional sized battery powered, solar charged, unmanned vehicle that is sized so as to create a clearing path for people travelling on foot. The first apparatus 11 is the self-leveling debris deflector. The primary chassis contains a solar panel 14 with a high resistant and magnification surface 13. From FIG. 2, a vertical interior section view looking down with the four drive wheels 16 can be found. Inside the chassis 17 are normal DC drive motors 18, current controller means and the battery set 19.

[0033]The top of the chassis provides space for an optional bio-fuel power-plant that is not necessary but would provide added daily service hours that may be of advantage. In front of the chassis is an optical camera 12 for close in monitoring of operation of robotic arm that is stored in a recessed chamber 8 and for warning flag positioning. Above the chassis is a structural frame, which acts to support the green energy module 14. This pan...
