First of all, is it immediayely redeployable or does it have be “reinflated”? What are the possibilties of using a decoy light source to trigger the bag miiliseconds before the actual detonation, much like the latest rpg, which has an Anti– APS dual warhead.. The first decoy triiggers the APS to fire, allowing the real thing to follow through..
or for that matter, simpler actually would be closely staggered IED’s..

David David David, huuuuhhh, is this another one of your inventions that may actually work if you could build for under a bazzillion dollars a unit or making use of non-existant technology again? We are still under an NDA lets see it.

I think using anything to protect our troops is good & should constantly be upgraded.
I sell armor for swat, troops, police ect..

pretty sure i get the “next-gen armor” concept.
i’m curious about the EM signature thrown up by the detection system, yes radar is slow but the “faster” you get the “brighter” you get too.
at some point, the offense will focus less on liquefication and more on shaping the concussive waves of the incident, intercept, etc. i can see the escalation vs. “next-gen armor” gaming the response to create constructive/destructive inference in a scary way.
getting tech out in the field is a major hurdle. getting funding for proof of concept is even harder. this is the sort of thing that israel might fund before the DoD. branching out to allied markets for initial funding may be worth your while.

The idea of using Kevlar airbags to stop incoming projectiles detected by a radar system was patented a while back.
APart from that, try looking at TARDEC’s FCLAS — Full Spectrum Active Protection (FSAP) Close-In Layered Shield — http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ground/fclas.htm
