scope:

This specification establishes minimum performance and operating requirements for Energy-Attenuation (EA) floor mats used for all U.S. Army military vehicles and reporting procedures to be used for requirements verification. EA floor mats reduce the risk of injury to occupants during mine blast accelerative loading events. This document should be used in conjunction with the vehicle program specific performance specification which entails requirements tailored to the intended vehicle specific design, protection location(s) and associated geometry. Unless otherwise specified by the Government, the EA floor mat (as defined in section 6.3(b)) should ensure threshold requirements are met (as defined in section 6.3(e)).

Application. Certain text found in this document are generic in nature but further elaboration can be found in section 6.3.
