With the TenCate ABDS active blast countermeasure system turned off, tests recorded multiple injuries which collectively proved lethal to all occupants. With the TenCate ABDS active blast countermeasure system turned on, injuries were reduced significantly – in many cases by as much as 40-70% – and none were lethal.

The debut of the TenCate ABDS active blast countermeasure system ushers in an era of improved safety and survivability for all military and commercial ground vehicles and the crews and soldiers who work in harm’s way each day. Mark Edwards concludes: “TenCate Advanced Armor looks forward to continuing its collaborations with US and allied Department of Defense agencies and military vehicle makers to evaluate the capabilities and survivability advantage that the system can provide on their platforms”.
