One of the aspects that sets RK & Sons is the fact that we have an active and intensive Blast Testing Program, which gives us significant insight as to how our products are performing and more importantly how to make them better. In order to get the most out of each blast exposure test, we utilize our own instrumented custom-built blast testing mannequin. This dummy is a biofidelic head and chest assembly designed as per the “NHTSA THOR ALPHA” advanced test dummy. Both the head and chest are fitted with tri-axial accelerometers and pressure sensors. It is with the data recorded, during the blast, inside the suit that we learned how to optimize performance for maximum survivability.
