The Matrix System allows the user to define the lev- el of security needed by choosing a suitable mesh option that details the degree of delay and site vis- ibility, up to and including barbed wire or ballistic panels to the system for additional layers of security. Furthermore, the Hardened Matrix Security Fence combines a mesh infill with Impasse pales for an addi- tional layer of security, to create a heavy-duty perim- eter security system with increased delay times and greater visual deterrence. The Matrix System also meets ASCE 7-10 Exposure C Wind Load at 130 MPH and ASTM F2781 Forced Entry Standards at agressive threat levels, and can be expanded to meet ASTM F2656 Crash Barrier Standard with the addition of Ameristar’s Stalwart anti-ram cable barrier. 42
