The invention disclosed is an apparatus for explosive blast suppression, and a method therefor, the apparatus comprising a hemispherical enclosure (10) defined by an upstanding wall, positioning means (42) associated with the enclosure, for positioning the explosive device substantially equidistant from any point on the wall, and in a preferred embodiment includes an integral floor (40) and a rounded lower wall, to provide a substantially even distribution of blast forces in all directions toward the wall. The enclosure is made of composite textile material, comprising one or several layers of a ballistic material (e.g. Dyneema Kevlar) sandwiched between inner and outer layers of a light-weight rip-stop nylon fabric material.

1. An apparatus for suppression of a blast from an explosive device, comprisinga) a hemispherical enclosure defined by an upstanding wall, b) positioning means associated with the enclosure for positioning the explosive device within the enclosure substantially equidistant from any point on the wall, c) an opening in the wall, and d) an aqueous energy absorbing flowable foam material having an expansion ratio of 17-49:1, substantially filling the enclosure and covering the explosive device, whereby upon detonation of the explosive device so positioned, the blast is suppressed.
