Delta Scientific launches portable barrier with ballistic protection

Delta Scientific introduced the MP100BR, a portable vehicle barrier that adds UL 752 Level 9 and 10 ballistic resistance to its existing ASTM M30/P3 crash-rated design. The barrier is available now and is aimed at events, law enforcement and other sites facing both vehicle and gunfire threats.

Why it matters: - The MP100BR gives security teams a portable barrier that addresses both hostile-vehicle attacks and ballistic threats in one product. - Delta Scientific says the new model preserves the deployment flexibility of its existing MP100 while adding protection against higher-end ammunition threats. - The barrier is available for immediate order.

What happened: - Delta Scientific announced the MP100BR, a ballistic-resistant version of its portable MP100 vehicle barrier. - The company positioned the barrier for event security, law enforcement and other uses where both vehicle and ballistic threats are present. - The announcement came Nov. 12, 2026, from Palmdale, California.

The details: - The MP100BR completed independent ballistic testing at Element U.S. Space & Defense in Belcamp, Maryland. - Testing showed resistance to threats associated with UL 752 Levels 9 and 10. - The barrier was tested from both sides, demonstrating bidirectional ballistic resistance in the evaluated configurations. - The barrier withstood .30-06 caliber, 166-grain APM2 armor-piercing ammunition fired at an average velocity of 2,849 feet per second. - The barrier also withstood .50-caliber, 710-grain M2 Ball ammunition fired at an average velocity of 2,907 feet per second. - Both tests produced no penetration of the evaluated barrier configuration. - The MP100BR keeps the original MP100’s ASTM M30/P3 crash rating. - The barrier is designed to stop a 15,000-pound vehicle traveling at 30 miles per hour, with a P3 penetration classification. - The standard MP100 weighs 755 pounds per unit. - The MP100BR weighs 790 pounds, an increase of 35 pounds, or about 4.6%. - The barrier has a foldable, stackable design for storage and transportation. - Delta Scientific also offers an optional towing trailer and a dedicated transporter for moving and repositioning the barrier. - The company lists potential uses including public events, festivals, concerts, stadiums, entertainment venues, parades, street closures, law enforcement checkpoints, emergency-response operations, government and military facilities, critical infrastructure locations, temporary secure perimeters and high-profile public gatherings.

Between the lines: - The MP100BR expands Delta Scientific’s portfolio of portable barriers that combine vehicle-impact protection with ballistic resistance. - The launch follows the introduction of the DSC50BR Portable “S” Barrier in September 2026. - Delta Scientific will continue selling the standard MP100 for customers that need portable vehicle protection without ballistic resistance. - The product split suggests Delta Scientific is carving out separate options for customers with different threat profiles instead of forcing a single barrier to do everything.

What’s next: - Delta Scientific says the MP100BR can be ordered now. - The company is offering interviews, product demonstrations and technical specifications through its media contact. - Delta Scientific continues to market its broader vehicle-access-control lineup worldwide, including high-security vehicle barricade systems, parking control equipment and guard booths.

The bottom line: - The MP100BR is Delta Scientific’s latest portable barrier for sites that need both crash protection and resistance to rifle- and .50-caliber-level ballistic threats.
