When a plane has to make an emergency landing on an aircraft carrier, the deck crew brings out a huge Kevlar net to bring it to a halt quickly and safely. These planes weigh over 10 tonnes and are travelling at speeds close to 200kph.
If an aircraft carrier’s net can stop a plane, then a similar design could be used to stop cars. Australian Bollards is introducing the Kevlar Security System (KSS) for Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM) and other security applications.
