DEFENCELL M1 is a larger version of the popular LITE tactical barrier. The M1 is one metre wide and offers increased ballistic protection against a wide range of blast and ballistic threats. Lightweight and with a low packed volume, the M1 is easy to handle and deploy. The filled unit is 4.90m long and 0.70m high, equivalent to over 300 sandbags.
The proven cellular structure combined with the strong and durable geotextile fabric create a stable long lasting barrier providing protection from small arms up to 20mm and from substantial IDF attacks from mortar and rockets. The nonmetallic construction ensures no secondary shrapnel threat, ricochet or RF interference.
The cells can be filled with a wide variety of locally available or imported fill materials from earth and sand to small rocks. DEFENCELL can be easily filled by hand or with any form of mechanical equipment. Successive layers can be added to build structures and these are described in other data sheets.
