Vehicle stabilization in the event of large detonation

摘要

A vehicle, apparatus, method and computer program are provided. The vehicle comprises: vehicle stabilizing means for ejecting at least one non-gaseous mass; means for detecting an explosion local to the vehicle; and control means for controlling, in response to detection of an explosion local to the vehicle, the vehicle stabilizing means to eject at least one non-gaseous mass in order to apply a force to the vehicle and stabilize the vehicle in response to the explosion.

1. A vehicle, comprising:
one or more detectors positioned to detect an explosion underneath an underside of the vehicle; a housing, positioned on an exterior surface of the vehicle that is different from the underside of the vehicle, for housing at least one projectile that is separably ejectable from the housing in an upwards direction away from ground; and processing circuitry configured to respond to at least one input from the one or more detectors that is indicative of an explosion having occurred underneath the vehicle, by causing ejection of the at least one projectile in the upwards direction out of the housing and away from ground and the explosion, which causes a reactionary groundwards force to be applied to the vehicle in order to stabilize the vehicle in response to the explosion.
