Ballista-Tek has developed Blast Attenuating Vehicle Seating and Floor Matting designed to increase survivability and reduce injury to Troops in Armoured and Light vehicles.

Vehicle Seating - Purpose built seating which features heavy duty seat frame with GRP/Kevlar double shell with integrated 'Blast-Guard' Tiles to reduce the effects of both Blast and Shock waves, offering improved protection for troops. Integral harness restraints and Outlast adaptive comfort fabric ensure increased ride comfort along with safety.

The system also offers additional protection by the integration of special SF blast Tile fitted beneath seat bases. The flexible design allows the integration of both Blast and Ballistic materials enabling the seat to be suitable for most vehicles.

Options include runners for driver and commanders versions and side mounts, allowing the seat to be fitted to interior bulk heads by means of a special Mark 1 tested track system.

Floor Protection - Has been greatly improved by the development of 'Blast-Guard' panels with non slip matting surface which is bonded to floor areas to absorb and dissipate shock waves as they pass through the vehicles reducing lower body trauma.

Blast-Guard Tiles also act as a very effective medium to reduce the effects of 'slam down' and is used extensively by US forces on land vehicles, Aircraft and fast patrol boats.

Ballistic Protection - The modular design of our Blast-Guard Seating allows the fitting of Ballistic protection mediums to combat the effects of small arms fire up to and including 7.62mm AP rounds, options include: Armoured steel or Dyneema/Aramid inserts.

Blast-Guard also reduces vibration and increases ride comfort, particularly over rough ground, reducing repetitive strains, associated with prolonged travel in vehicles in extreme environments, the inclusion of Outlast trim fabrics further enhances ride comfort, by greatly reducing sweating and chilling often associated with blast seating, which is currently in service with the UK MOD.
