Agreement re Energy-Absorbing Crashworthy Seats
ABBS have an agreement with a world-leading Israeli supplier of energy-absorbing seats for armoured vehicles and offshore racing power boats. Following our approach to them, they are now developing seats for Crashworthy Urban Air Mobility aircraft (UAMs) and other light aircraft/helicopters for ABBS to sell. The company has many years of experience in designing energy-absorbing… Continue reading Agreement re Energy-Absorbing Crashworthy Seats
eVTOLS – EASA Publish Study on the Societal Acceptance of Urban Air Mobility in Europe
EASA (the European Union Aviation Safety Agency) has now published the outcome of a study into how acceptable Urban Air Mobility (UAMs) will be to members of Society across Europe. The study focussed on 4 cities across the EU which had been identified as the potential target markets for Urban Air Mobility; focussing on drones… Continue reading eVTOLS – EASA Publish Study on the Societal Acceptance of Urban Air Mobility in Europe
Passive Underbody Mine Protection from ABBS
Shockwave Mitigating, Energy Absorbing Sandwich Belly-Plates (CRBP) for Ground Vehicles Land mine and IED blasts are the cause of many deaths and critical injuries to civilians as well as military personnel operating in areas of conflict – present and historic. Vehicles in these conflict zones need underbody protection. ABBS have progressed with the design and… Continue reading Passive Underbody Mine Protection from ABBS
Importance of an Emergency Descent Arrest System for eVTOL Aircraft
Emergency Descent Arrest Systems (also known as Ballistic Parachute Recovery Systems) are an essential element when it comes to aircraft safety. In the event of an emergency, such as a bird strike or power failure, a parachute system can be deployed which helps to land the aircraft safely. The large parachute required to provide a… Continue reading Importance of an Emergency Descent Arrest System for eVTOL Aircraft
What are eVTOL Aircraft: Electric Vertical Take-off and Landing Aircraft
Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) Aircraft have always been seen as an ideal for military applications – they do not require a specialist runway and use less physical space and infrastructure to get into the air and land. There is a history of various attempts to create a successful VTOL aircraft; but perhaps the most… Continue reading What are eVTOL Aircraft: Electric Vertical Take-off and Landing Aircraft
Interest Grows in our Land Vehicle Protection System
Following the interview by Forces TV we have continued to receive a growing amount of interest in our Land Vehicle Protection System; including an article in Defence Procurement International and approaches from both the Pentagon and UK MOD who are considering a joint funding exercise to further develop the technology. With the ability to retrofit… Continue reading Interest Grows in our Land Vehicle Protection System
eVTOL Safety Standards – a Pressing Need
As the eVTOL aircraft industry moves forwards towards offering commercial air-taxi services and first responder services, there is a growing need to define how these aircraft will be safe for use within an urban environment. We are already seeing announcements of planned mini airports for electric aircraft – with Lilium currently planning to launch 10… Continue reading eVTOL Safety Standards – a Pressing Need
Interview by Forces TV
In 2020, Roger Sloman, the CEO of Advanced Blast & Ballistic Systems Limited and Active Safety System Technologies Inc. was interviewed by Forces TV about the ABBS approach to vehicle protection. The video appeared on YouTube and had over 35,000 views in just 24 hours, with the vast majority of comments being from people who… Continue reading Interview by Forces TV
New US Army GVSC Order for Linear Rocket Motors for Test.
ABBS has received a new $268,000 order for LRM’s for testing in the USA later this year under the ongoing Co-operative R&D Agreement (CRADA) which was extended for a further three years in October 2019. The intention of the CRADA is to develop the ABBS technology to the Technology Readiness Level 6 (TRL6) when the… Continue reading New US Army GVSC Order for Linear Rocket Motors for Test.
