Test Sled helps US Army protect Soldiers from IED Explosions

Today’s soldier is protected and assisted on the battlefield by technology unimagined just a handful of years ago. Yet one battlefield hazard continues to challenge our technological capabilities, that being improvised explosive devices, or IEDs. These challenges remain associated with detection, avoidance, and most importantly survival! The US Army and Lansmont Corporation teamed up to develop a Horizontal Impact Test System that will be used to develop innovative vehicle protection systems in the overall effort to combat this battlefield threat and provide safety for our soldiers.
