Abstract

Improvised explosive device IED attack becomes main reason of casualties among coalition soldiers during military missions in Afghanistan and Iraq. In underbelly explosion scenario the most exposed on blast effects body part is leg. The aim of studies presented in this paper has been indication of factors enhancing lower leg injury risk during IDE attack. Model of soldier in KTO Rosomak (Polish army wheeled armoured vehicle) crew compartment created in Madymo software has been used for research. Results of simulations has been analysed and injury criteria has been determined.
