A net screen on a circular rail around a tank.
Status: Development concept — subject to study and testing
Image 1 — Rotating screen in its initial position (conceptual)
Overview
The concept
A concept for a curved net screen on a carriage running along a circular rail around a tank, oriented according to detection information to cover the relevant side instead of the full perimeter.
Proposed purpose
To study a movable alternative for covering tank sides with fewer screens.

Introductory details
Applications, components and considerations
Potential applications
■ Stand-alone tanks on open sites
■ Sites with an expected approach direction
■ Combined with a fixed canopy as an extra layer
Components (overview level)
■ Steel rail on a concrete base
■ Carriage with hazardous-area rated motors
■ Net screen on a steel frame
■ Link to detection systems
■ Power supply with backup battery
Integration & maintenance
■ Rail covers and a sand-cleaning schedule
■ Periodic rotation tests
■ Combination with fixed systems for simultaneous threats
■ Calibration of the detection link
