Anti-Vehicle Barrier Systems

Meridian Rapid Deployment Anti-Vehicle, Anti-Ram Ballistic Barriers.

Meridian Rapid Defense Group designs and manufactures a wide range of rapid anti-vehicle barriers. From the Archer 500 "drop-and-go" barrier to the U.S. Dept. of State K4 rated Archer 1000 Barrier System, it is now possible for facilities, tactical and military units to secure perimeters and manage risk in minutes, rather than days. Meridian's Archer 500, 750 and 1200 Barriers are rapidly deployable in minutes with a team of two, without the need of heavy equipment. Meridian's products do not require hydraulics or electricity to operate, maintenance costs are minimal and all of our products have ballistic capabilities.

Drop and Stop Barrier
The Archer 1200 barrier offers 'drop and stop' perimeter and entranceway security. In tests with a 3,500 lb. car traveling at 30 miles per hour, the Archer 1200 allowed less than 15 feet of dynamic penetration.

Anti-Vehicle Barrier System
See an SUV try to push Meridian Rapid Defense's Archer 750 barrier. The back edge digs into the ground, tilting back the barrier. If the SUV hit the barrier at full speed, the barrier would push the car into the air, tear into the undercarriage and stop it.
