International Classification:

F42B 3914

US Classification:

86 50

Abstract:

An explosive and lightweight container comprising fire-extinguishing and rgy absorbing components. The fire-extinguishing component include an exterior vented plate; a honeycomb element filled with a fire-extinguishing agent; and separated from the vented plate by a membrane to prevent leakage and contamination. The energy absorbing component includes an energy absorbing material; pusher plate; and a honeycomb crush element. In operation, any blast and conflagration are mitigated by energy absorbing material and fire-extinguishing material, respectively.
