A blast shockwave shield including an upright, monolithic body having a lateral center, and front and back sides, and a blast-facing, curved strike face formed on the upright, front side of the body, including a pair of companion, laterally spaced, laterally symmetric, non-coextensive, curved, strike-face portions, each of which defines a blast shockwave-deflection vector that is aimed upwardly, and laterally outwardly away from the shield's lateral center. This structure implements a method for blast shockwave deflection which includes the steps of engaging and intercepting such a shockwave with an upright, monolithic, solid-resistance instrumentality having a pair of laterally spaced, curved, non-coextensive strike-face portions, and, by those acts of engaging and intercepting, reversely deflecting an impinging shockwave.

We claim: 1. A blast shockwave shield comprising an upright, monolithic, non-elastic body having a lateral center, and front and back sides, and a blast facing, curved strike face formed on the upright, front side of said body, including a pair of companion, laterally spaced, laterally symmetric, non-coextensive, curved, strike-face portions, each of which defines a blast shockwave-deflection vector that is aimed upwardly, and laterally outwardly away from the shield's lateral center. 2. The shield of claim 1, wherein each strike-face portion is curved rearwardly in a height manner. 3. The shield of claim 1, wherein each strike-face portion is curved rearwardly in both height and width manners. 4. The shield of claim 1, which has a lateral side profile with a top and a bottom, and wherein said profile bottom has an overall, front-to-back lateral dimension which is greater than that of said top. 5. The shield of claim 1, which further includes a forwardly and outwardly projecting, upright, central baffle which forms a divider between said strike-face portions. 6. The shield of claim 1, which forms part of a soldier-course of plural, like, laterally-next-adjacent shields. 7. The shield of claim 1, wherein said body is a hollow structure adapted to receive a fungible, flowable fill material drawn from a list including (a) a solid particulate material, and (b) water. 8. The shield of claim 1, wherein said body is a hollow structure adapted to receive water, and included in said body are plural, blast-openable, water-outflow ports. 9. A method of shielding against a laterally traveling shockwave of a blast comprising engaging and intercepting such a shockwave with an upright, monolithic, non-elastic, solid-resistance instrumentality having a pair of laterally spaced, curved, non-coextensive strike-face portions, and by said engaging and intercepting, reversely deflecting that shockwave. 10. A blast shockwave shield comprising an upright, monolithic, non-elastic body having a lateral center, and front and back sides, and a blast-facing curved strike face formed on the upright, front side of said body, including a pair of companion, laterally spaced, laterally symmetric, non-coextensive, smoothly curved, strike-face portions, each of which defines a blast shockwave-deflection vector that is aimed upwardly, and laterally outwardly away from the shield's lateral center. 11. The shield of claim 10, wherein each strike-face portion is curved rearwardly in a height manner. 12. The shield of claim 10, wherein each strike-face portion is curved rearwardly in both height and width manners. 13. The shield of claim 10, which has a lateral side profile with a top and a bottom, and wherein said profile bottom has an overall, front-to-back lateral dimension which is greater than that of said top. 14. The shield of claim 10, which further includes a forwardly and outwardly projecting, upright, central baffle which forms a divider between said strike-face portions. 15. The shield of claim 10, which forms part of a soldier-course of plural, like, laterally-next-adjacent shields. 16. The shield of claim 10, wherein said body is a hollow structure adapted to receive a fungible, flowable fill material drawn from a list including (a) a solid particulate material, and (b) water. 17. The shield of claim 10, wherein said body is a hollow structure adapted to receive water, and included in said body are plural, blast-openable, water-outflow ports.
