| description |
The security of the population and its protection in the context of terrorist attacks is currently one of the major topics of the professional public and security forces. A number of attacks in the last decade have targeted soft targets, which, according to a generally valid definition, can be considered as places with a high concentration of people and a low level of security against violent attacks. In order to ensure maximum effectiveness in protecting soft targets, a number of procedures and methodologies have been developed to determine appropriate measures and their appropriate application. From a technical point of view, these include mechanical barrier systems and elements. It is mechanical barrier elements that are the focus of this article, which uses a selected specific device to present its function, its possible applications, and the issue of testing before use in practice.
