A REDAN is a V-shaped fortification, which was commonly used in the 19th century to defend against artillery fire. It is characterized by two faces forming a salient angle towards the enemy and a re-entrant angle on the opposite side. The REDAN was typically built with an earthen rampart and parapet, and was often used in conjunction with other defensive structures such as bastions and ravelins.
