The perimeters of High Security sites are the first line of defense against dangerous and potentially devastating intrusion . The Department of Homeland sets guidelines for critical infrastructure and key asset perimeter security upgrades , including aviation , petrochemical , utilities , the electrical grid and many others . This oversight continues to spawn perimeter security hardening through the addition of perimeterbreach detection systems and crash tested gates , bollards , barrier arms , wedges and fence lines . HydraWedge SM50 ( Shallow Mount , M50 crash tested ) hardens ACPs against a 50,000 lb . truck racing at 50 mph with an explosive payload . It passed three crash tests with zero penetration including domestic ASTM F2656 , international IWA , and PAS 68 . No other anti-terrorist crash product
has passed all three tests .
But HydraWedge SM50 , like all HySecurity crash and high security gate operators , not only stops intruding vehicles , it detects potential and actual ACP breach conditions and alerts security responders in real time , before or during a security breach .
