– The capacity is measured in terms of TNT equivalent, indicating the amount of explosive energy the containment structure can withstand.
– The specification ensures that the vehicle can mitigate the effects of a potential explosion within the contained item, protecting personnel and airport infrastructure.
– The “single use” specification means the vehicle is designed to withstand one such event, and may need repair or replacement after containing an explosion of this magnitude.
