Able
to be deployed or relocated for full
manual or automatic operation within
two hours, Delta Scientific’s
quick deployment Series IP500 Barrier
will stop and destroy a 15,000 pound
(6,800 kg) truck traveling at 30
mph (48 km/h) in less than 20 feet
(6 m). It
secures an entrance roadway 8 to15
feet in width from vehicle attack. Hydraulic
and manual versions are available. It
is filled with cement once it is
in place. The
barricade is movable and reusable.
“We have a great need
for easy to install, temporary,
drop-arm beam barriers to block
entrances to embassies or roads
to embassies where we don’t
have setbacks,” emphasizes
Dusty Rhodes, part of the certification
team from the U.S. State Department. “With
this type of barrier, we don’t
need to dig up streets.”
According to Jerry Edwards, U.S.
Army R & D Deputy Product Manager,
Physical Security Equipment “This
type of barrier provides a new
element in force protection both
in the U.S. and overseas. It’s
especially relevant for threat
conditions in the military, such
as in Kosovo, where there are a
series of force protection issues. Having
an increased level of security,
when moving from locale to locale,
is a big advantage.”
Contact Delta for versions that
can be filled with sand or gravel. Roadside
modules have fork lift openings
for rapid deployment.
