Description
The US Air Force is intending to sole source the procurement of Archer 1200 Mobile Vehicle Barriers and associated accessories to Meridian Rapid Defense Group, LLC. The barriers will be used to prevent unauthorized vehicle access at installation entry control points and provide Security Forces personnel with a rapidly deployable vehicle denial capability. The Archer 1200 Barrier is a portable anti-ram vehicle barrier that requires no electricity, hydraulics, or forklifts for operation. The system is designed for one-person deployment and may be repositioned as mission requirements dictate.
Some key features of the Archer 1200 Barrier include:
• Unanchored stopping power certified to US DOD and PAS 68 standards
• Rated for armor-piercing NATO ammunition up to .50 cal. ballistic rounds
• Non-electric and non-hydraulic unit
• Easily deployable wheels that are self-contained on the barrier
• Can be installed as a complete barrier system with MERIDIAN’s 4-foot Arrestor Cables
• Can be deployed at any desired length, as units can be “daisy chained” together
• Allows for the installation of directional or informational signage
