When it comes to military training, realism is key. Service members must be prepared to face the harsh realities of combat, and that includes exposure to the powerful blasts from heavy weapons. However, the intense pressure generated by these blasts can pose significant dangers to servicemembers on the battlefield and in training.
Blast overpressure is the sudden increase in air pressure caused by the rapid release of energy from an explosion. When a weapon is fired, it produces a blast wave that can cause a range of injuries, from ruptured eardrums and lung damage to traumatic brain injuries. These effects are not limited to direct exposure to the blast; even being in close proximity can result in severe consequences.

For servicemen in training, repeated exposure to blast overpressure can lead to cumulative damage, affecting both their physical health and cognitive function. Instructors, who may be exposed to these conditions even more frequently, face similar risks. The need to reduce these dangers while maintaining effective training protocols has never been more critical.
