ERDC Innovation
• Ensures access across lighter convey waves, bridging systems, and austere sites
• Achieves full-scale trafficability testing, rapid prototyping, and performance objectives
• Provides an affordable option for rapid deployment of a trafficable roadway by a small crew in austere coastal environments
• Is inserted into a sand boil to relieve underground hydrostatic pressure and inhibit subterranean erosion that can cause levee failure
• Can be installed by one worker in 15 minutes, making it 47% faster than installing sandbags, significantly cheaper, and less labor-intensive
• Reduces the time workers and people downstream are exposed to a potential levee failure as well as speed up the pressure reduction in the levee
• 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
• 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
• Gathers data remotely, without entering blast radius
• Simple wireless configuration
• High-speed data acquisition (DAQ) solution
• 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
• 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
• 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
• 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.)
• Provides excellent energy-absorbing capacity against rockets, mortars, blasts, and natural penetration forces
• Easy to construct, disassembe and reuse
• Lightweight and transportable
• Requires no special tools or heavy equipment
• Armored panel system provides ballistic and blast protection
• Set up in less than 30 minutes with no anchoring, special tools or equipment required
• Lightweight, portable and easy to transport
• Customizable to nearly any room width and height
• Demonstrated higher performance (100 passes of an F15-E) in all temperatures than cold-mix asphalt
• Pre-packaged in 5-gallon buckets
• Effectively unlimited shelf life
• Lower installed cost than factory-provided hot mix or cold mix
