DC2 Force Protection System
The Defencell™ DC2 Force Protection System provides heavy ballistics and blast protection while maintaining a minimal logistical footprint. The DC2 unit contains 24 cells in an offset pattern for easy filling and increased stopping power. When filled, a single DC2 creates a 16 foot long, 20 inch high and 43 inch deep wall that is roughly equivalent to 219 sandbags.
The DC2 is 43 inches thick and is fillable using granular resources such as sand, gravel, dirt, or rocks. DC2 units can be combined or stacked with DC3 and DC4 units for even greater levels of protection.
Independently tested, a DC2 protects against small arms and cannons, as well as direct hits from small and medium mortars and near-miss rockets. The 100% textile construction minimizes the risk of secondary fragmentation when attacked.
DC2 is ideal for building perimeter fortifications, barriers, fighting positions, barracks protection, and asset protection. The DC2 requires minimal preparation to deploy and is designed to conform to sloped or uneven surfaces.
