Portable razor wire rapid deployment unit

A razor wire rapid deployment unit (RDU)/barrier is disclosed. In some embodiments, the RDU includes an enclosure having a first section coupleable with a second section, the enclosure defining an interior area therein. The RDU may further include a razor wire disposed within the interior area of the enclosure, a first end of the razor wire directly coupled to the first section, and a second end of the razor wire directly coupled to the second section. The first and second sides of the enclosure may be separated from one another to deploy the razor wire from a compressed configuration to an expanded configuration.

Bullet resistant security fence
11747114 · 2023-09-05 ·

A bullet resistant security fence is formed by a plurality of horizontally oriented formed metal panels extending between I-beam support posts. Each panel can be an extrusion having a hollow void for insertion of optional insert modules to enhance the bullet resistant capability. The insert module can be formed as a sandwich with alternating layers of metal sheeting and furniture grade plywood, screwed together to create an integral module. Each panel extrusion includes a tongue and groove interlocking configuration to resist penetration of the fence between metal extrusions. Construction is accomplished by stacking the metal extrusions between spans of adjacent support posts and securing the metal extrusions with a cap, which can include a louvered topper for the fence. Crash protection can be obtained by running cables through the voids in the lowermost extrusions and holes drilled through the support posts, and anchoring the cables at opposing ends thereof.
