Modular, lightweight vehicle barrier system deployable by two people for rapid access control.
AVERT
Aggressor Vehicle Entry Readiness Technology (AVERT)
Modular barrier system engineered for quick vehicle denial and controlled access.
AVERT
The system is a rapidly deployable modular vehicle barrier designed to immediately stop aggressor vehicles in temporary traffic control or forward-operating environments. Using a specialized mat that reduces vehicle traction through friction, AVERT halts hostile vehicles while allowing cleared traffic to pass with a spring-assisted pop-up mechanism. No heavy machinery, tools, or equipment are needed, and two personnel can deploy the system in less than 20 minutes.
Edwards Design and Fabrication, Inc. is the licensed manufacturer for AVERT and is authorized to deliver it to both government and commercial customers. From fabricating test units and conducting demonstrations to producing deployed hardware, we have supported the AVERT program since its inception. Our team has also contributed to design improvements and manufacturing innovations, ensuring reliable protection whenever rapid vehicle-stopping capability is required.
Three Primary Benefits of AVERT
Whether protecting checkpoints, roadblocks, or temporary traffic control sites, the AVERT system adapts to mission demands with a friction-based barrier mat that stops aggressor vehicles. Designed for speed, reliability, and reusability, it delivers proven stopping power in the field.
Rapid,
No-Tool Deployment
Deploy a complete vehicle barrier in under 20 minutes with just two personnel—no tools, heavy machinery, or earthwork required.
Scalable &
Mission-Flexible
AVERT’s modular design integrates mats and barriers that can be positioned quickly to secure different road widths and traffic points.
Proven Protection,
Built to Last
The friction mat neutralizes vehicle traction, while the spring-assisted pop-up mechanism allows cleared traffic through—durable, reusable, and field-tested.
AVERT FAQ
What comes in a standard AVERT kit?
Each AVERT kit includes the friction mat, modular barrier components, and a manual spring-assisted pop-up mechanism. All parts are shipped in labeled crates for rapid setup and field use.
Do I need heavy machinery to deploy it?
No. AVERT is designed for quick setup by two personnel—no tools, heavy machinery, or earthwork required.
How quickly can it be deployed?
The system can be fully deployed in less than 20 minutes, providing immediate protection in temporary traffic control or forward-operating situations.
Can cleared vehicles still pass through?
Yes. AVERT’s spring-assisted pop-up mechanism allows authorized traffic to pass without moving the system.
Is the system reusable?
Yes. AVERT is modular, durable, and reusable across multiple deployments.
