of blast overpressures from an HE in a liquid-filled elas-
tic confinement, one need to measure the static-pressure
pulse and duration of the positive compression phase.
For further improvement of protective means, it is nec-
essary to construct pressure pulse diagrams and de-
scribe the transformation of the blast-wave profile in
the coordinates pressure time at any distance from
the HE charge compared to the standard diagrams for
the unconfined charge.
