DEFENSE MARINE PORT SECURITY AND UNITED STATES NAVY ANTITERRORISM FORCE
PROTECTION: Small Craft Intrusion Barrier™ ("SCIB™") - Line of Demarcation ("LOD")
The SCIB™ is the definitive
survivable Line of Demarcation, maritime force protection barrier. The
SCIB™ has unparalleled durability and has been designed for the most adverse
marine conditions, including winds of 80+ knots. Loads are carried by
stainless steel cables encased in 2 inch EPDM rubber connecting cables.
These same stainless steel cables create a significant maritime port security
barrier to intrusions and/or entry by unauthorized, stray or threatening
vessels.

. PORTABILITY: SCIB™ - MARITIME FORCE PROTECTION & HOMELAND DEFENSE
BARRIERS
The SCIB™ can be configured as a swinging gate with end point attachment
slings to provide for an enclosed protected area, but with the possibility
of opening the area immediately. By using a small craft of sufficient
power (8 meter craft, twin outboards of 130 horsepower +) the SCIB™ can
be swung on a pivot point to allow for large craft to pass. In this way
a base or facility can be completely enclosed and protected, but ready
for the quick movement of large vessels, if conditions require. TOP

NAVY FORCE PROTECTION INSTALLATION NAVAL AMPHIBIOUS BASE LITTLE CREEK("NABLC")
A 300 foot SCIB™ was installed in cooperation with the USN at Naval Amphibious
Base Little Creek, Norfolk, Virginia ("NABLC").
The completed SCIB™ has four anchor points, each of which consists of at
least a 3 ton concrete anchor. It also has attachment points at the Channel
Marker Buoy and a designated shore point. The orange colored modules are
filled with marine grade foam and are unsinkable regardless of penetration.
The ratio of orange to white modules is 1 to 2 providing 720 pounds of
assured buoyancy every four feet. TOP

and includes a Domestic One Year Warranty covering all risks. Therefore,
the demands on USN, other military or user personnel and equipment are
virtually eliminated. TOP

CONSTRUCTION PROCESS: SCIB™ - MARITIME FORCE PROTECTION FENCE
The SCIB™ is normally built on site and pulled into the water for placement
over pre-positioned anchors. The installation time depends on facilities
available and sea-state but the barrier for the USN was built and installed
in 3 days using a crew of 4 and some US Navy watercraft. TOP
