An impulse mitigation system configured to mitigate blast impulse directed to a surface (or structure or target). The system includes a substrate in communication with the surface (or structure or target), wherein the substrate is configured to receive an impulse directed to the surface (or structure or target) and then relocate from the surface (or structure or target) in response to received impulse.

Impulse mitigation systems for media impacts and related methods thereof

A method for manufacturing a ballistic resistance package which includes providing a molecularly oriented tape material having a front face and back face with a minimum of two sets of parallel side faces; wrapping molecularly oriented fabric material around the front and back faces and a set of the parallel side faces of the molecularly oriented tape material, yielding a wrapped core structure; and finalizing the wrapped core structure to yield the ballistic resistance package. A multifunction ballistic resistance system for resisting projectiles and/or mitigating blast effects of explosions. The multifunction ballistic resistance system may include: at least one cellular frame defining cells therein, and a plurality of molecularly oriented tape material core structures wrapped in molecularly oriented fabric material and finalized, and attached to at least one cellular frame.
