LITE (Lightweight Individual Tactical Emplacement) is a compact addition to the Defencell Force Protection range. Lightweight and with a low pack volume (an unfilled unit weighs only 3.6 kilo grams and comfortably fits in a sandbag), it is easily stored and moved. When filled, a LITE makes a wall section 3.2 m long, 0.6 m high and 0.7 m wide, equivalent to over 100 filled sandbags.
It can be quickly filled by hand, with shovels or MHE and unlike sandbags, the LITE needs no tamping or specific building technique: simply fill it and compact by treading.
The M1 is a recent innovation to meet a requirement for a 1 metre wide barrier system for personnel protection and will provide protection against significant ballistic and blast threats yet a 5m length weighs less than 10 kilo grams.
