Share

Scope of Work


The US Air Force Europe’s 48th Security Forces Squadron at RAF Lakenheath, United Kingdom, required a fleet of ballistically protected guard houses to strengthen integrated base defense across the installation.


Execution


Specialist Services, part of Centurion’s Middle East & North Africa region, designed, manufactured, and delivered 22 compact, trailer-mounted guard houses. Each unit measured 1.5m x 1.5m x 2.3m and was engineered to meet NIJ Level IV ballistic protection standards. 


Key features included four viewing windows, eight weapon ports, integrated folding steps for access in elevated locations, and a 360-degree spotlight system for full perimeter visibility. Mounted on trailers with holding-down points, the units were optimized for mobility and easy redeployment.


Outcome


The delivery enhanced the customer's ability to protect critical infrastructure and personnel through improved visibility, protection, and mobility.


By combining tactical functionality with advanced ballistic protection, the solution delivered by Specialist Services strengthens defensive capabilities and underscores Centurion’s capacity to support mission-critical defense infrastructure requirements under high-security standards.
