McCurdy's Armor

Product Info

"We've been using sandbags forever; I can't believe it took this long to think of something like this."
-Marine Corps Corporal

General Product Information:

McCurdy's Armor® is an interlocking LEGO™-type system that can be assembled quickly into multiple configurations to provide ballistic and blast protection against small arms, mortars, rockets, artillery, armor-piercing rounds and suicide bombs, while still providing operators with full situational awareness through transparent armor.

Product Features:

Conserves manpower, equipment and construction materials.

Can be reused over and over.
Can be quickly "de-constructed" so no infrastructure is left behind.
Can be assembled in less than 10 minutes (compared to 16 hours for sandbag posts).

Intuitive setup process uses universal components and no tools.

Minimal training is required.
Every part is a one- or two-man carry and interchangeable with similar parts.

Includes transparent armor gun ports.

Gun ports provide full ballistic/blast protection and situational awareness. Quickly open into firing positions.

Stopping Power

McCurdy's Armor® can be assembled into multiple configurations to protect against:

5.56, 7.62 AP, 0.50 Caliber AP-M2.
Fragments from mortars, grenades, rockets, suicide bombs, and IED's.

Gun Port

Firing positions built into sandbag structures are nothing more than unprotected holes, making the guards easy targets for snipers.

McCurdy's Armor's® gun port provides full ballistic/blast protection and situational awareness until the need to fire arises and the gun port quickly opens into firing position.

Stowage & Transport:

Easily stowed and transported via DDM105 or DDM205 trailer.

Possible Uses:

McCurdy's Armor® can be used anywhere our personnel will be exposed to enemy sniper fire, IDF, small arms, suicide bombers, and grenade attacks. Possible uses include, but are not limited to:

Camp Guard Posts
Observation Posts
VCP/ECP Greeter Stations
Sniper Positions
Cordon Security
Police and Military Recruiting Stations
Election Posts

Rapid Deployment for VCP's:

Snap VCP's" disturb the movement of weapons throughout the battlefield and leave coalition forces completely exposed to enemy fire.

Using the DDM105 trailer concept, McCurdy's Armor® solves the problem by providing protection in under 10 minutes.

McCurdy's Armor® for Fixed Guard Posts

McCurdy's Armor® solves the problems associated with fixed guard posts, which are in need of constant repair and can leave dangerous openings for enemy snipers or mortars.

McCurdy's Armor® vs. Sandbag Posts & Sand Filled Barriers – Conserving Resources

Sandbag Posts	Building a Sandbag post takes many squad hours to build, leaving soldiers exposed for long periods of time and draining them of their much-needed energy.
Sand Filled Barriers	Sand Filled barriers require the support of heavy equipment and leave significant damage to infrastructure. They take time to assemble and are not re-deployable.
McCurdy's Armor®	McCurdy's Armor® provides similar or better ballistic and blast protection in a fraction of the time. It takes the effort of as few as two or three people to set up and is re-deployable. It can be removed in minutes and used over and over again. Plus, it leaves no significant infrastructural damage.
