Deployable Device Having An Unrolled Configuration For Rapid, Bi-Directional Immobilization Of A Targeted Vehicle Traveling On A Roadway, And Associated Methods

摘要

An apparatus to be positioned at the side of a roadway for ensnaring tires of an oncoming land vehicle is described. The apparatus comprises a base layer further comprising a plurality of receptacles to hold spikes at both lengthwise edges of the base layer. The base layer is adapted to support a net package in a rolled stowed configuration. The net package includes a set of spikes tethered to netting. A deployment hose is connected to the base layer to cause the base layer to become unrolled for deployment when the deployment hose is inflated.

1. An deployable apparatus for immobilizing a land vehicle, positioned at the side of a roadway when in an undeployed state, comprising:
a netting package including a base layer comprising a plurality of receptacles to which a plurality of penetrators are removably attached; and a deployment module that causes the base layer to unroll and lay across the roadway upon deployment, wherein, upon deployment, the penetrators are arranged on the roadway such that at least one penetrator will puncture and become lodged in a tire of an oncoming land vehicle.
