NightHawk Remote RoadSpike System® (RS)
The NightHawk® Remote RoadSpike System (RS) transforms vehicle pursuit intervention by allowing officers to remotely deploy and retract spike strips from a safe distance. Designed to reduce officer exposure while increasing operational effectiveness, NightHawk (RS) delivers rapid, precise tire deflation during vehicle pursuits, checkpoint operations, high-risk warrant service, and other tactical missions.
With wireless remote operation, officers can position themselves safely away from the point of engagement while placing the MATADOR RoadSpike® directly in the path of the target vehicle. Once the vehicle has crossed, the RoadSpike® retracts in less than two seconds, immediately clearing the roadway for pursuing officers and other authorized traffic.
Powered by the world's first reconfigurable, reloadable, and reusable MATADOR RoadSpike® technology, the NightHawk (RS) eliminates the limitations of traditional manual spike strip deployments while reducing long-term operating costs. The result is a faster, safer, and more efficient pursuit intervention system that enhances officer safety, improves mission success, and provides exceptional value to law enforcement agencies.
