DEVELOPMENTAL PROCEDURES AND MODIFICATIONS AND TEST RESULTS FOR AN UNSCALABLE OR SCALE-RESISTANT, STABLE RIOT CONTROL BARRIER.
Abstract
PROTOTYPE RIOT CONTROL BARRIERS WERE FABRICATED AND FEASIBILITY-TESTED. THE TEST RESULTS INDICATED THAT THE CORRUGATED STEEL PANEL RIOT CONTROL BARRIER IS FEASIBLE AND PRACTICAL FOR THE INTENDED PURPOSE, AND THAT THE CONCEPT IS SUITABLE FOR FORTHER DEVELOPMENT INTO TROOP USE ITEMS. AT FIRST, THE BARRIER WAS ABLE TO BE CLIMBED TOO EASILY, BUT THE ADDITION OF BARBED WIRE OVERCAME THIS OBJECTION.
