Enhancing Blast Seat Performance

In today’s combat zone it is essential to have high-performance blast mitigation technology in military vehicles to ensure occupant protection. Crew survivability is paramount and vehicle manufacturers and equipment providers are innovating in ways to enhance protection without sacrificing efficiency and designing for space, weight, and power (SWaP). 

SKYDEX has developed seat cushion inserts to enhance the performance of any blast seat. Layered within traditional foam cushion material, SKYDEX Inserts are made from the same technology that has been field proven in over 24,000 vehicles worldwide. SKYDEX Inserts offer enhanced protection for the occupant during a blast event, as well as added comfort - the occupant feels less pain or fatigue from driving on bumpy, uneven roads with increased pressure distribution. Additionally, SKYDEX Inserts are engineered to reduce the transfer of vibration to the occupants and increase the lifespan of the complete seat cushion through improved durability.
