License ERDC’s Patented Protective Structures and Systems

ERDC is pioneering protective structures and systems, such as the Modular Protective Systems (MPS) suite of security measures, as well as novel shelters, barriers. Explore these technologies for more information on how they can benefit your business.

Rapidly Deployable Over Decking Systems

• Over-bridge free spans (e.g. damaged piers or bridges)
• Side-load or end-load railcars anywhere along the line
• Deploy on uneven surfaces and compromised preexisting structures
• Assembles quickly without the need for power tools or heavy machinery
• Recoverable and reconfigure

Deployable Expedient Traffic Entry Regulator (DETER)

• Stops large vehicles upon contact
• Place or recover in less than 30 minutes
• Integrates into QuadCon for easy storage, transport and deployment
• No specialized equipment or tools required
• Blocks areas of any size with incrementally linkable 8'-width units

Autonomous Pressure Profile Recorder (APPR)

• Gathers data remotely, without entering blast radius
• Simple wireless configuration
• High-speed data acquisition (DAQ) solution

Hardened Alternative Trailer Systems (HATS) Technologies

• Complies with the U.S. Dept. of State Certification Standard for Forced Entry and Ballistic Resistance of Structural Systems (SDSTD-01.01 Rev. G)
• Inexpensive and easy to manufacture
• Fast on-site assembly
• Protects from intense ballistic, forced entry, blasts and adverse weather

Modular Guard Tower System (MGTS)

• Blast, ballistic, and forced-entry protection
• Pentagon shape, return fire gun ports, and operable windows
• Tilt up and bolt-together construction
• Steel frames and concrete-filled panels for durability and safety
• Fits in an ISO container (Quadcon) for rapid transport and deployment to the most remote locations

Blast, Ballistic, and Forced-Entry-Resistant Operable Windows and Doors

• Demonstrated fortification, installed and in use overseas
• Integrates into existing buildings
• Sliding windows and/or doors for ease of opening
• Wide tolerances to accommodate various opening sizes

Modular Protective Systems Expedient Guard Tower (MPS-GT)

• Protects against blasts, ballistics, indirect fire, and small-arms fire
• Demonstrated against real-world threats
• Currently deployed in 32 locations
• Assembly/disassembly by a team of 5 in one hour
• No special tools or equipment required
• Transports in Quadcon containers (weight < 8,000 lbs.)
