Attribute

FON Fortification Type

Definition

A raised construction that protects a military asset (for example: aircraft or fighting vehicle), equipment (for example: radar station), and/or facility (for example: surface-to-air missile site) from hostile action.

Description

Defensive revetments may be constructed of sandbags, concrete, compacted earth, or other material such as logs or metal. They offer protection against low flying splinters, shrapnel, and/or projectiles from bombs, rockets, grenades, small arms fire and other line-of-sight weapons. High-angle, low-velocity fragments will still impact the exposed site.
