BOP Mitigation for Military Training Environments

EBSS develops engineering-control systems that reduce blast overpressure exposure during high-intensity military training — without reducing realism, cadence, or readiness.

Training Realism Creates Repeated Blast Exposure

Blast overpressure is not limited to combat. It is generated repeatedly during weapons training, breaching, range operations, and high-tempo instruction. RSOs, instructors, assistant gunners, assault teams, and nearby personnel can accumulate exposure across repeated events.

Military leaders are increasingly being asked to manage blast exposure as a readiness, safety, and training-sustainment issue — not simply as an unavoidable byproduct of realistic training.

Repeated Exposure

High-BOP training exposure accumulates across relays, training days, courses, evolutions and careers.

High-Dose Roles

RSOs, instructors, assistant gunners, and range cadre accumulate more exposure than other training roles.

Readiness Impact

Headache, fatigue, ringing ears, sleep disruption, and cognitive delay affect performance, and readiness.

Engineering Controls for whole body BOP Mitigation

Reduce Avoidable Exposure

Mitigate blast effects where personnel are repeatedly positioned.

Improve Repeatability

Use physical systems and positioning cues to support consistent implementation.

Preserve Training Realism

Support realistic weapons and CQB training without softening standards.

Support Risk Management

Give leaders practical engineering-control options as BOP policy and tracking mature.

EBSS focuses on practical mitigation at the source of repeated exposure: the firing lane, the instructor position, the shooter position, the breach point, and the hard surfaces that shape the blast environment.

Our systems are designed to help commands reduce avoidable blast overpressure exposure while preserving the realism, intensity, and throughput required for military training.


TWO Systems. One Mission:

BORS

Blast Overpressure Range System

For high-BOP weapons training ranges

BORS is EBSS’s range-based system for high-BOP weapons training environments. It is designed to support physical mitigation, repeatable personnel positioning, and more consistent range-lane configuration.

  • Built for high-BOP weapons training aligned with Tier-1 high-BOP weapons

  • Supports RSOs, instructors, gunners, assistant gunners, and adjacent personnel

  • Defines repeatable protected positions for consistent BOP mitgation

  • Supports pilot-lane deployment and operational evaluation

COTS

CQB/C Overpressure Tile System

For CQB, and explosive-breaching environments

COTS is EBSS’s engineered tile system for confined-space training environments where blast waves can reflect from hard surfaces and create complex exposure pathways.

  • Designed for CQB and breaching environment

  • Applies to walls, ceilings, floors, and high-reflection zones

  • Supports retrofit, pilot-room, and facility-specific deployment

  • Helps address reflected blast in enclosed training spaces

Reduce BOP Risk Without Softening Training.


Live-Fire Informed. Operationally Grounded.

EBSS development is informed by operational experience, training-environment realities, and instrumented live-fire testing.

In observed shoulder-fired rocket training, measured peak overpressure behind the shield was substantially lower than outside-shield measurements when personnel were properly positioned.

Test context and considerations are available during qualified stakeholder briefings.

87%

Reduction in avg peak BOP from 10.6 psi to 1.4 psi.

Blast overpressure has moved from an under-managed training hazard to an active force-health, readiness, and policy concern.

Repeated blast exposure can affect training recovery, performance, and long-term force health.

Why BOP Mitigation Matters Now

Operational Readiness

Accountability

Commands are being asked to better understand, manage, and document blast exposure risk.

EBSS gives military leaders practical engineering-control options that support this shift without reducing the realism of required training.

Mitigation

DoD attention is increasing around blast exposure education, mitigation, tracking, and risk management.

Engineering controls provide a practical path to reduce avoidable exposure at the point of training.

Veteran-Founded. Mission-Driven. Built from Training Experience.

EBSS was founded from direct understanding of high-intensity military training environments and repeated blast exposure. The company’s mission is to help commands preserve realistic training while reducing avoidable exposure for warfighters, RSOs, instructors, and support personnel.

  • Special Operations veteran-founded

  • U.S.-based

  • Focused on practical engineering controls

  • Built for range and CQB training environments

  • Developed around real training exposure problems

“ EBSS helps military leaders predictably reduce blast overpressure exposure through practical engineering controls built for ranges, explosive breaching facilities, and CQB environments. “
