J & S Franklin are pleased to announce that following successful blast
tests at this years Force Protection Equipment Demonstration (FPED), in the
USA, they have received the first order for DefenCell from the US Army.
This order will be made and delivered from the DefenCell plant in
Nashville, Tennessee.
Defencell is a cellular rapidly deployable force protection system that can
be used in a wide variety of military and civil defence roles. These
include walls, sangars, bunkers, roadways, vehicle barriers and flood
protection.
DefenCell offers a number of significant advantages over other Force
Protection Systems, noticeably, it is one-man portable and deployable, its
weight, (being up to 10 times lighter than comparable products), it
requires 5 times less transport volume, and being non-metallic, with no
cages or hinges there is no secondary shrapnel.
DefenCell is also made in the UK, and is already in service with The
British Army in Afghanistan.
