➀ Fraunhofer EMI and partners are developing simulation software (VC BlastProtect) to model shrapnel dispersion and underground pressure waves from WWII bomb detonations;

➁ The software aims to optimize evacuation zones and assess risks to underground infrastructure, incorporating damping measures like sand/water covers;

➂ Validation experiments in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern demonstrated the accuracy of models in predicting blast effects, aiding bomb disposal teams in damage mitigation planning.
