RAPIDLY EMPLACED ANTIPERSONNEL OBSTACLE

Abstract

This report covers an investigation of the Rapidly Emplaced Antipersonnel Obstacle to evaluate obstacle effectiveness and design adequacy. Report concludes: (1) the barbed tape material is more effective as an antipersonnel obstacle than triple standard concertina; (2) the modified obstacle device design provides satisfactory operating reliability within the environmental and rough handling conditions described in this test report; and (3) the erected barbed tape pattern is not altered by the environmental conditions described in this test report.
