ABSTRACT:
A land vehicle has a floor with upper and lower surfaces. Fibrous material is bonded to the upper surface of the floor, and a ballistic panel/blast shield is disposed below the floor and is spaced from the lower surface of the floor to create an air gap between the panel and floor. Mechanical fasteners secure the panel to the vehicle. Resilient material is disposed between the vehicle and the panel at the fasteners. The panel, air gap, resilient material and flooring provide resistance to blast pressure. The flooring and fibrous material trap flying shrapnell fragments.
