Abstract
An inflatable trajectory altering and blast energy absorption system has a plenum with walls that are spaced apart from one another when the plenum is inflated. Flexible members, dispersed in the plenum and coupled thereto, are placed in tension when the plenum is inflated. Means for altering the trajectory of a projectile entering said plenum are dispersed within the plenum.
