ABSTRACT:
A vehicle may include a vehicle body maneuverable onto a near collision course with a target and a plurality of inflatable ballutes which, when inflated, extend generally radially from the vehicle body. A controller may cause the ballutes to be inflated prior to an anticipated time of collision with the target. A plurality of explosive charges may be attached to at least some of the ballutes. A detonation controller may be coupled to the controller and to the plurality of explosive charges.
