IACS

The Instant Anti-Coconut Shield. It deploys instantly and protects against falling coconuts. It is also malleable enough to protect against cats and dogs without injuring them.

Thanks to inbuilt PPT (Projectile Protection Technology), the coconuts take no damage when they hit the shield either. Everybody wins, especially the coconut.

Greta Gretchen-Hoffer carries one, and once deployed hers straight out of her backpack when the coconuts began to fall.

It belongs to a broader family of shields, including the IAHS (Instant Anti-Hail Shield), the IAMS (Instant Anti-Meteorite Shield), and the IAWS (Instant Anti-Walrus Shield).
