ABSTRACT:
An instant defense barrier for providing unobtrusive protection for a building or other site. A plurality of barrier post assemblies are anchored in the earth. Each assembly includes a barrel and a post slidably fitted in the barrel. The head end of the post portion is essentially flush with the level of the roadbed when the post is in the normal, non-extended position. When activated by closing a switch, the post is propelled from the confined position in the barrel by an explosive charge, a compression spring or other propulsive forces to a locked extended position to provide a barrier against unauthorized passage by a motor vehicle. A plurality of auxiliary cables are optionally connected between adjacent posts to provide further obstruction to the progress of small vehicles, such as motorcycles or bicycles.
