Abstract
A vehicle disabling device for disabling a fleeing vehicle has a carriage that is projected from a launch platform using a plurality of elongate extension tubes.

The carriage includes a pair of carriage wheels and is adapted for rectilinear movement in front of a pursuit vehicle. The carriage also includes a first arm and a second arm connected pivotally to the carriage. A plurality of spikes are disposed along the first and second arms, adapted to puncture the tires of the fleeing vehicle once the fleeing vehicle has run over one of the first and second arms.
