(57) A system (12) for use in a construction (10) which comprises a compartment (26) to
be protected from an explosive threat (14) incoming from an expected threat direction
(54). The construction (10) further comprises a surface (38) disposed in front of
the compartment (26) relative to the threat direction (54) and having at least a section
(53) thereof expected to be impacted by the explosive threat (14), and a component
(58) disposed between the surface (38) and the compartment (26). The system (12) comprises
an elongated element (62) and two cables (64A,64B). The elongated element (62) has
two end portions (70A,70B) and bendable portion (72) and being configured for mounting
in the construction (10) so that at least a part of the bendable portion (72) is disposed
between the section (53) and the compartment (26) and is configured to flex towards
the compartment (26) to be protected, upon application thereto of a force caused by
the explosive threat (14). Each cable (64A,64B) is connectable at one end thereof
to the component (58), and at the other end thereof is connected to one of the ends
of the elongated element (62) so that flexing of the bendable portion (72) towards
the component causes pulling of the cables (64A,64B) by the ends of the elongated
element (62) away from the component (58), thereby restricting the movement of the
component (58) towards the compartment (26) to be protected.
