New Products Create Roadblocks that Prevent Getaway Vehicles

Companies in the defense, aerospace and commercial industries are using new products that are designed to stop vehicles from getting away, according to Pacific Scientific Materials Company, a manufacturer of anti-getaway products. These include such things as the anti-terror road blocker, which is a popup blocker that is buried 40 cm in the ground but deploys to a height of 60 cm when triggered. Another example is the Pit-BUL, which resembles a speed bump but is fitted with a deployable net that can tangle the front tires of an escaping vehicle.
