A common question facing many security planners is "How do you provide vehicle anti-ram protection to areas over 100 feet wide?" You can place anti-ram cables on fences and vehicle barriers near entry control points but areas such as the runway/taxiway side of a parking area is always vulnerable at the taxiway gaps. Airfield restrictions and operational necessity also prohibit the use of standard security barriers to mitigate this threat.

Traditional vehicle barriers deployed in a line are not cost effective and create synchronization/timing challenges that require frequent maintenance. The SecureUSA cable trap is an innovative system that provides vehicle anti-ram protection for airport/airfield taxiway gaps or other environments where operational constraints preclude the use of permanent fences/barriers. The 2015 CT flush mounts with the surface and can be expanded to cover a large area from 200 to 400+ feet. The system allows an open taxiway or protected area to transition to a closed taxiway or area in 15 seconds or less.

All barriers can be operated by 110v, 220v, 12v, or 24v (or even solar power on smaller taxiway gaps). In the event of a power failure, it can be operated manually, with a portable back-up generator from the control box. The 2015 CT's operating speed is 15 seconds or less regardless of temperature (-30f to +200f), arming a large perimeter very quickly.

The 2015 CT has an anti-skid drive surface that flush mounts with the taxiway leaving no problem for street sweepers or snowplows. The barriers simple controls can be operated by a keypad, proximity reader, hardwire remote control or computer controlled at an entry control point or a command center giving you man-in-the-loop control at all times.

All barriers are fully operational and self-contained shipped from the factory ready to install. The simple design of the 2015 CT requires almost no maintenance even when there are high traffic volumes. The key component of the barrier is an electromechanical actuator that eliminates the high maintenance costs associated with the hydraulic or pneumatic barriers on the market.
