Across the United States and Europe we have witnessed an increasing number of large outdoor events, targeted for senseless acts of violence at an alarming rate.
Ameristar Perimeter Security, a new Finalist in the Annual ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program, with multiple product nominations to cover a range of applications, in a variety of categories, has introduced the Surface Guard™ to address vehicle-ramming attacks.
Ameristar’s Surface Guard™ vehicle barrier solution, is a system designed specifically for temporary event protection to safeguard mass gatherings.
Surface Guard barricades protect event goers from accidental or targeted vehicular attacks and allow for pedestrian traffic to flow seamlessly through the barricade wedges.
