Description: Deployable water-filled blast mitigation panels designed for use on board navy platforms either above or below deck. The panels used in conjunction with ammunition pallet stowage systems, are used to mitigate against the
effects of an accidental ammunition explosion.
Made from either polyvinyl chloride (pvc) or neoprene coated internally reinforced fabric, the units are designed to be deployed manually or when full using appropriate mechanical handling equipment.
First, they are filled with air to provide stability then water - the water displacing the air through a pressure relief valve (PRV).
