Dante Dobbins, a 2015 summer volunteer at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division (NSWCCD) in West Bethesda, Md., helps Philip Dudt, a researcher at NSWCCD, test different applications of an explosive resistant coating on helmets. According to Office of Naval Research (ONR) scientist, Dr. Roshdy Baroum, early research sponsored by ONR, identified that a coating of explosive resistant coating polymers could mitigate blast exposure to the brain. NSWCCD has been engaged with a major helmet manufacturer to produce such a helmet and final blast testing will be commenced shortly. The coating is also just being explored for use in football helmets and may a wide application in this arena as well if research goes forward. (U.S. Navy photo by Devin Pisner /Released)
