The Ground Retractable Automobile Barrier (GRAB-300) system is an active vehicle barrier that has met test criteria of ASTM 2656-07 M50/P2 (15,000 lb truck at 50 mph, Penetration 3.31′ to 23.0′). The system provides ultimate security while providing a less-than-lethal solution utilizing a patented energy absorbing system upon impact. In numerous real-world impacts, GRAB systems have effectively stopped vehicles weighing up to 80,000 lbs and vehicles traveling at speeds over 50 mph.
Unlike a wedge barrier, which can result in a potentially fatal, high-impact crash, the GRAB-300, an active vehicle barrier, deploys an industrial-strength net to capture the vehicle and stop it. Thus, when denied by the GRAB-300, the vehicle is not destroyed upon impact, and the lives of its occupants are preserved.
The effectiveness of the GRAB system can be seen in the report on an incident at Fort Carson, Colorado. A vehicle involved in a high-speed police chase sped through a checkpoint at 65 mph. The soldier on guard duty was able to press a single button to deploy the GRAB system, effectively stopping the vehicle.
