Blast threat to critical and military infrastructure

Maňas Pavel, Kroupa Lubomir, Urban Rudolf, Coufal Dalibor

Security and Defence Quarterly

Vol. 1, No. 1

32--53

Blast attacks to public structures and critical or military infrastructure present threats that must be taken seriously. In modern asymmetric conflicts, force protection engineering mainly deals with protection against explosions caused by IED's and the mitigation of blast effects. Protective measures are based on practical experience with blast effects on structures and personnel, or on modern methods such as simulations. Different methods can be used to assess and analyze possible effects of blast attacks on constructions. Simulations can be used to predict the effects of explosions and can help to discover adequate protection measures. The aim of the article is to briefly present the use of AUTODYN software as a possible way of predicting the effect of blast attack. Simulations in this field are applicable not only in the military but in critical infra-structure protection too. The protection of critical infrastructure against a terrorist attack is a one of the most challenging issue nowadays. Government experts face problems with appropriate countermeasures in the uncertain environment of unidentified IED threats.
