1. A vehicle security barrier system for hostile vehicle mitigation, the vehicle security barrier system comprising:

a panel;
a reinforcing arrangement;
a first support member; and
a second support member,

the panel comprising: first and second rail members, extending transversely between the first and second support members; and a third rail member extending between the first and second rail members;
the reinforcing arrangement comprising: a first cable extending through the first rail member, the first cable having first and second attachment components at respective ones of first and second ends thereof; a second cable extending through the second rail member, the second cable having first and second attachment components at respective ones of first and second ends thereof; and a third cable extending within the third rail member, the third cable having first and second attachment components at each of first and second ends thereof, the first attachment component of the third cable being coupled to the first cable extending within first rail member, and the second attachment component of the third cable being coupled to the second cable extending through the second rail member;
the first support member comprising: a tubular main section; an aperture in the tubular main section for receiving said first attachment component at the first end of the first cable; at least one recess or slit associated with said aperture; and a cover plate affixed to the first support member for adding strength proximate said aperture and/or at least one recess; and
the second support member comprising: a tubular main section; an aperture in the tubular main section for receiving said second attachment component at the second end of the first cable; at least one recess or slit associated with said aperture; and a cover plate affixed to the second support member for adding strength proximate said aperture and/or at least one recess;
wherein the first attachment component comprises a loop and is coupled to a locking post of the first support member, and wherein the second attachment component comprises a loop and is coupled to a locking post of the second support member.
