CHEMICAL BIOLOGICAL EXPLOSIVE CONTAINMENT SYSTEM

摘要

A portable apparatus for mitigating the effects of chemical, biological and/or radiological agent containing explosive devices within a defined area is disclosed. The apparatus (10) is an inflatable, easily portable containment device and includes: explosive blast containment means (20) for substantially containing explosive blast over-pressure and blast fragmentation particles caused by an explosive blast to a substantially defined area; chemical, biological and/or radiological agent mitigation means for substantially mitigating the effects of an explosively deployable chemical, biological and/or radiological agent within the substantially defined area; and an inflatable air-beam suspension support structure (15) having a substantially open base portion (16), a plurality of lateral support members (18) and a capping structure (19) which, when inflated, establishes the substantially defined area and supports the blast containment and agent mitigation means.
