Vehicle barrier with access delay

DWPI Title: Access delay vehicle barrier has fixed post supports which are embedded into surface and arranged to impede motion of barrier element in direction perpendicular to length of barrier element
Abstract: An access delay vehicle barrier for stopping unauthorized entry into secure areas by a vehicle ramming attack includes access delay features for preventing and/or delaying an adversary from defeating or compromising the barrier. A horizontally deployed barrier member can include an exterior steel casing, an interior steel reinforcing member and access delay members disposed within the casing and between the casing and the interior reinforcing member. Access delay members can include wooden structural lumber, concrete and/or polymeric members that in combination with the exterior casing and interior reinforcing member act cooperatively to impair an adversarial attach by thermal, mechanical and/or explosive tools.
Use: Access delay vehicle barrier.
Advantage: The access delay vehicle barrier can be provided for stopping unauthorized entry into secure areas by the vehicle ramming attack includes access delay features for preventing and/or delaying the adversary from defeating or compromising the barrier.
Novelty: The barrier has barrier element (102) which is horizontally arranged above surface (112) by standoff distance. The vertical support elements are provided with free standing crossed supports (104) attached to barrier element and are arranged to support barrier element above surface by standoff distance. The fixed post supports (106) are proximal to barrier element, and are embedded into surface and arranged to impede motion of barrier element in direction perpendicular to length of barrier element.
