blast shields

Protective blast panels

Blast shields are protective barriers designed to absorb or deflect the force of explosions, shrapnel, or intense light.

They appear on military vehicles, in demolition work, and around industrial equipment.

In science fiction, blast shields often protect spacecraft windows or cockpits: Luke, lower your blast shields.

The term also applies to welding masks and other eye protection against bright flashes.
