ScanShield - Rapidly Deployable System for Ballistic Protection

ScanShield is a dynamic and innovative company which develops protective military equipment. ScanShield has recently designed and constructed a new ballistic protection system for the erection of protective constructions for containers, prefabs, tents, buildings and other key assets.

BALLISTIC PROTECTION OF MILITARY ASSETS

ScanShield has created a unique and quickly deployable system for ballistic protection. The system is formed from a specially designed tarpaulin (Coverit) attached on a rack mount (Rackit).

The system is adaptable to the different situations of urban warfare and protecting infrastructure and key assets. The tarpaulin is light, flame-retardant and furnished with pockets which can hold ballistic protection tiles.

The tarpaulin can be easily mounted on different structures and zipped together. It provides complete and unique protection against blast and fragment impact both from explosives and projectiles from handheld weapons.

The specially designed Rackit is a foldable light steel rack constructed to hold the Coverit tarpaulin. As both our racks and tarpaulins are easily attachable, it is simple to create a protective wall that covers the entire length of the assets to be protected.

COVERIT BALLISTIC PROTECTION TARPAULIN SYSTEM

The Coverit ballistic protection tarpaulin system is formed by lanes (95cm x 398cm) formed from fire-retardant fabrics. It is equipped with nine pockets that can hold ballistic tiles of 44cm x 88cm. Its protection capability can be adjusted to withstand the relevant threat by use of various ballistic panels.

The tarpaulins are equipped with two strong lengthwise-mounted zippers for fastening, and five metal fortified rings for lashing. The total weight of a Coverit without tiles, when made from a standard 720 gr/m² fabric, is less than 7kg.

The Coverit tarpaulin system can be mounted either directly over containers, prefabs, observation posts, roofs, walls etc., or on the Rackit to form a protection wall or fence.

BALLISTIC PROTECTIVE WALL

The Rackit is made from 60mm x 30mm x 3mm cold rolled steel/37 and 2in steel/37 pipes. It weighs less then 40kg and has an overall size of 260cm x 76cm. When erected it stands at an angle that leaves the top 240cm from the ground.

When the Coverit is mounted on the Rackit, six ballistic panel pockets are placed on the front, and three are hooked on the rear. By placing Rackits close together it is easy to zip mounted Coverits together. This ensures you can form a wall of an indefinite length to fully protect your tents, entrances and alleys for VIPs, generator-isles, and other key assets.

BALLISTIC PROTECTION UNDER IMMENSE FORCE

The Coverit and Rackit were both tested by the Danish School of Engineers at the Tranum firing range. During the test, the Coverit was mounted with metal panels on the Rackit wall.

The test verified that the Coverit and Rackit can withstand immensely high explosive force. An 81mm Danish mortar bomb, M/48, FA, caused no damage even when placed just 5.6m from the Rackit.

The extreme force of a 155mm H projectile, HE M107, which was detonated 7.5 m from the Rackit, caused scares. It did not, however, disrupt the Coverit's functionality.

It required this 155mm H projectile to be detonated just 5.6m from the Rackit to begin to reduce the Coverit's functionality. Furthermore, even under this immense force the position of the Rackit was only altered by 5cm.

RESISTANCE TO 155MM HE M107 GRENADES

The Coverit, Rackit and steel plates remained unchanged throughout the test, so the impact from the explosives was accumulative. Yet the Coverit proved it can maintain the ballistic tiles in position after multiple impacts from explosions of a force up to that of 155mm HE M107 grenades detonated just 5m away.

BALLISTIC PROTECTION FROM EXPLOSIONS

The test showed that the Rackit only suffers a minor displacement from explosions up to the force of a 155mm HE M107 detonated at a distance of a mere 5m. Combined with the strength of the Coverit, this ensures exceptional protection for your containers, prefabs, tents, buildings, observation posts and other key assets.
