  • Method and apparatus of immobilizing an unauthorized intruder to a secure area

    Abstract: A system is disclosed for immobilizing an unauthorized intruder to a secure area. A plurality of immobilizing devices, capable of propelling a non-lethal projectile through space, are installed in the region of the secure area. A remote control device is used for selecting and deploying the immobilizing device, in response to the presence of an unauthorized intruder in the region of the secure area, to at least temporarily incapacitate the intruder. The intruder is thus rendered harmless until security personnel are able to take control.
