Summary:A rapid deployment access delay system (RAPADS) has been designed to provide high security protection of valued assets. The author presents the RAPADS concept, design, fabrication, and construction. The system or vault is transportable, is modular, and utilizes a pin connection design. Individual panels are attached together to construct the vault. The pin connection allows for quick assembly and disassembly, and makes it possible to construct vaults of various sizes to meet a specific application. Because of the unique pin connection and overlapping joint arrangement, a sequence of assembly steps is required to assemble the vault. As a result, once the door is closed and locked, all pin connections are concealed and inaccessible. This provides a high level of protection in that no one panel or connection is vulnerable.< >
