Protective footwear that mitigates the shock transferred to the victim’s leg during an antipersonnel landmine blast need to be evaluated to verify their protection levels. The Mine Boot Test and Evaluation System which include a surrogate lower leg, the Test Measurement and Evaluation Support system and the Explosive surrogate, is such an evaluation system. In addition to the physical evaluation of the damage to the surrogate lower leg, the Test Measurement and Evaluation Support system measurements are used to evaluate and relatively compare the protective footwear.
