About this file
This document contains Salient Characteristics for a Mobile Vehicle Barrier System (MVBS), detailing comprehensive technical specifications for a deployable barrier solution. The system must be lightweight, portable, and operable by a single personnel member within 5 minutes, requiring no specialized tools or electricity. Key requirements include surface-mounting without ground penetration, lateral interconnectivity, high visibility through reflective tape or solar-powered lighting, minimal maintenance (no more than 3 times per year), and durability in extreme environmental conditions.
The MVBS must meet Department of Defense Approved Products List (APL) standards for Anti-Ram Vehicle Barriers, capable of stopping a vehicle with a specified Gross Vehicle Weight at a designated velocity without breaching the barrier. The system requires intuitive deployment, with a comprehensive user manual, instructional video, and optional 'train the trainer' program not exceeding 2 hours. Additional critical specifications include being deployable without specialized expertise, withstanding repeated impacts, having a warranty against material defects, and leaving no permanent damage to the installation surface upon removal.

SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS for Mobile Vehicle Barrier System(s)
(MVBS)
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
MVBS Each individual component of the barrier system must be able to be carried and deployed by one (1) personnel member in under 5 minutes without the need for specialized tools beyond those typically found in a standard vehicle toolkit and without the need for specialized lifting equipment.
The barrier system must be surface-mounted and require no ground penetration, excavation, or use of chemical anchoring. No construction equipment is required to install the system. The system should not cause any permanent alteration to the surface it is deployed on. Upon removal, the barrier system should leave no visible damage or residue on the surface, requiring only minimal cleaning for removal of dust or debris.
The barrier system must operate without the need for or use of electricity for operational use.
The barrier system must be designed for lateral interconnection to create a continuous barrier. Interconnection shall be achieved using an integrated cabling system or metal chain links. The interconnection method must allow for secure connection of multiple barrier sections by one (1) personnel member within 5 minutes without the need for specialized tools.
The barrier system must be highly visible in both daylight and nighttime conditions. This shall be achieved through the use of high-visibility reflective tape meeting or integrated lighting powered by solar source. The reflective tape or integrated lighting must be visible from a distance of at least 300 feet under optimal conditions such as a clear night with modern headlights and 150 feet under standard headlight illumination in non-optimal conditions like snow, rain, or fog.
The barrier system shall require minimal maintenance. Acceptable maintenance shall be limited to cleaning, visual inspection for damage, and replacement of reflective tape or integrated lighting bulb or lighting source. The frequency of required maintenance shall not exceed 3 times per year under normal operating conditions. The system must be designed to withstand exposure to extreme environmental conditions to include snow, heavy rain, hail, and extreme hot and cold temperatures without significant degradation of performance or requiring increased maintenance.
The barrier system shall be designed for intuitive deployment and operation, requiring minimal training. A comprehensive user manual and instructional video must be provided with optional 'train the trainer' program that consists of user manuals, documentation, and presentation slides or video presentation with a maximum of 2-hours train time. The objectives covered in the training shall include operation and deployment of the barrier system, troubleshoot deployment issues, and perform basic upkeep and maintenance of the system with the inclusion of the user manual.
The system must be deployable and operational after reviewing the user manual and/or video, without requiring any specialized expertise or certifications.
The barrier system must be durable and designed to withstand repeated deployment and impact. The system must meet the requirements of the testing standards referenced in the DoD Approved Products List (APL) for Anti-Ram Vehicle Barriers. Following an impact event meeting the specified standard, the system may require repair or replacement of damaged components but shall not fail catastrophically.
The system must be warranted against defects in materials and workmanship under normal operating conditions.
The barrier system must be capable of stopping a vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of at least the GVW outlined in the testing standards referenced in the APL, traveling at the velocity outlined in the testing standards referenced in the APL, without breaching the barrier or allowing the vehicle to proceed beyond the protected area. The system must meet the requirements of the testing standards referenced in the DoD Approved Products List (APL) for Anti-Ram Vehicle Barriers.
