A Full Stop with X-Net

Our X-NetTM non-lethal, moving vehicle arresting system has won valuable orders from the US army, initially for 100 units but with a further substantial number in the pipeline.

The X-NetTM device is a portable, spiked net that is able to bring a wide range of fast-moving road vehicles to a complete and safe standstill within 50 metres, avoiding the use of weaponry while safeguarding pedestrians and other vehicles nearby. A high performance polyethelene net with a special coating, designed to withstand very high temperatures wraps itself around the wheels and axles of the target vehicle.

X-Net has applications in military, counterterrorist and other security situations.

dandy The Marines in Haiti successfully employed X-NetTM at a checkpoint near Port-au-Prince. The net was deployed when a vehicle accelerated after being signalled to stop and brought a vehicle to a stop in 50 feet, without injuries to the driver or Marines.
