Soldiers with bTBI face severe health declines, emphasizing the need for proper classification and treatment. This study examines blast wave propagation using full-scale experiments with 1 kg charges at different heights of burst (HoB). Findings show that as HoB increases, incident overpressure decreases by 38%, while impulse remains stable due to rarefaction waves. The results highlight the importance of sensor selection and blast analysis, aiding in protective equipment development and improving numerical models for blast mitigation strategies.FulltextenBlast Traumatic Brain InjurybTBIHeights of burstHoBBook Chaptern/a
