ARA and BAaM Introduce The Blast Mat to Mitigate Blast Exposure Risk and Optimize Training
“The idea behind The Blast Mat is to provide service members with a training tool to help learn the weapons they use to train more efficiently and effectively, and reduce or mitigate their blast exposure” said BAaM founder James Engall.

- ARA Engineer Suthee Wiri said, “They can still train with these weapons systems, but we want to reduce potentially harmful blast exposure, and The Blast Mat is a tool to do that.
- “For some weapon systems, even slight changes in positioning or posture can make a large difference in blast exposure levels,” Wiri said.
- “We are excited to debut The Blast Mat™ during the MHSRS (Military Health System Research Symposium) conference in Kissimmee, Florida”, said Engall.
