Technical Specifications

• Custom design based on the U.S. Navy interest to provide protection around the MK16 tripod system
• CAD/Solid Works engineered
• Modular design allowing the various panels to be reconfigured to create a variety of different size and shape emplacements and full integration with the current MASS system
• CNC laser cut with ITC™ (Interlocking Tab Construction). This allows for a precise fit and eliminates the need for welds on critical armor plate, which prevents any change in the steels temper therefore maintaining true ballistic integrity
• Single wrench assembly
• Manufactured to accommodate all small arms and modern mounting systems with various ammunition holders
• Custom sizes and designs are also available upon request
• Durable Powder Coat finish in virtually any color
• Impervious to sun and saltwater breakdown
• Requires less real estate than sand bags or Jersey barrier systems
• All surfaces are constructed of 3/8"or 1/2" AR500 (Abrasion Resistance Wear Plate) 'Armor Plate'. This steel has received a NIJ Level IV and UL Level 8 Rating and will withstand repeated hits from virtually any shotgun, handgun or rifle fire to include:

  a) M855 - 5.56mm (SS109)
  b) .30-06 armor piercing
  c) 7.62X51mm NATO and armor piercing equivalents

  The assembly based on a 20-degree obliquity has also successfully defeated .50-caliber steel core ball ammunition fired from a M2HB Browning Machine Gun at 100 meters. A steel certification document, tested sample of steel and test data can be provided upon request
• Integrated Pad Eye for lifting with machinery
• Each system is man portable with the use of a dolly
• Weight of each panel is ~ 380lbs.
• Custom built shelves to accommodate weapon mounts, clearing barrels, or ammunition holders
• Optional MK16 pintle mount adapter
• Optional weapon mounts and cradles available
• Capable of mounting most weapons in the military inventory
• 20-degree deflection angle for maximum personnel safety
• All connector seams have 100% true OBI™ (Overlapping Ballistic Integrity™ )
• The bolt pattern allows you to simply remove and replace the existing MK16 tripod

No other company produces a comparable product (based on extensive patent research).

Purchase of this system enables the reconfiguration and adaptation with current M.A.S.S. Panels that are in the United States military system to create larger and more versatile emplacements.
