Delta Scientific, a manufacturer of counterterrorist vehicle control systems used in the United States and internationally, has announced the successful full scale crash test and product release of their new 'DSC207' Embassy vehicle barricade system. The barricade is a fully enclosed, shallow foundation wedge barricade with covered front and sides. In a full scale crash test conducted by an independent test lab, the 'DSC207' met the criteria for an M50/K12 rating. A 15,000 pound (6800 kg) truck impacting at 50 mph (80 km/h) was stopped dead with zero penetration and no foundation damage.

The motor speed control can be programmed to control the barricade so that it operates quickly at first but, at the end of the stroke, slows down so that it does not slam, eliminating wear and noise. Guard operation is with touch screen control via hardwire, networked or fiber optics. [www.deltascientific.com]
