A method of using an anti-ballistic protection system for protecting an interior space in a building. The ballistic barrier includes a laminated material having a plurality of layers of lightweight, flexible, ballistic resistant material such as woven sheets which are secured together into the laminate using a adhesive, heat weld, or stitching. The ballistic barrier is configured to be in a compact retracted state which can be deployed to provide a protective state to protect against kinetic ballistic projectiles. The system may include an automated control system operably configured to change the state of the ballistic barrier from the retracted state to the protective deployed state, such that upon sensing a threatening event or condition triggers a transition from the retracted state to the deployed protective state such that in the protective state. The ballistic barrier in the deployed state is configured to be resistant to penetration by high-speed ballistic projectiles such as a bullet fired from a gun or a shrapnel from a bomb to protect the interior space.

A slat arrangement for redirecting the trajectory of a bullet has a plurality of elongated steel slats, and each elongated steel slat has a longitudinal front edge and a longitudinal back edge stretching between a first end and a second end. The steel slats are positioned in a louver-like fashion for changing the direction of a bullet following a trajectory along the normal of the slat arrangement. A support structure is connected to each steel slat at the back edge of the steel slat, between the first end and the second end of the steel slat.

A multi-threat security apparatus system for critical infrastructure protection is disclosed having an above-ground concrete base, a vertical post system adapted to be attached to the above-ground concrete base and to receive a plurality of louvers. The plurality of louvers provides the necessary ballistic protection for and air flow through to the critical infrastructure. The louvers may include a composite of aluminum foam, a resin impregnated ballistic material and an aluminum foam. The composite structure may be used on doors, panels or building walls.

Laminates and their process of manufacture, with the laminates made with anti-ballistic materials, such as woven and unwoven fabrics. The laminates are provided with different structures, materials, bondings, and other features, and example methods of manufacturing those laminates efficiently and in mass quantities. The method of production is a process of laminating individual flexible sheets including anti-ballistic material (which may be of woven or unwoven cloth or thin solid sheets or foils comprised of one or more light-weight anti-ballistic materials) into a flexible laminate for use to protect people or spaces from ballistic objects such as bullets and shrapnel from weapons and other moderate to high-kinetic energy objects. Also, an anti-ballistic protection system for protecting an interior space in a building. The ballistic barrier includes the laminated material having a plurality of layers of lightweight, flexible, ballistic resistant material such as woven sheets which are secured together into the laminate using a adhesive, heat weld, or stitching. The ballistic barrier is configured to be in a compact retracted state which can be deployed to provide a protective state to protect against kinetic ballistic projectiles.

A multi-plate armor system used as an add-on armor in the armored vehicles, especially military vehicles. More specifically, disclosed is an armor system which, having a structure that will not be affected from impacts as well as having weight values acceptable for industry standards per unit area (kg/m.sup.2), at least two plates positioned to the armored vehicle body with a specific distance between them, allows the resulting destructive effect to be felt in the large surface with minimal damage by deflecting the impact direction of the ballistic threat such as bullets, spall etc.

The ballistic barrier in the deployed state is configured to be resistant to penetration by high-speed ballistic projectiles such as a bullet fired from a gun or a shrapnel from a bomb to protect the interior space, and can be used to protect windows, doors, hallways, and walls from penetration by the ballistic projectiles.

An improved RPG shield netting that comprises a net structure supporting a spaced arrangement of one-piece nodes manufactured using an insert injection molding process such that each node is formed as a one-piece three-dimensional solid shape with uniform surfaces that envelopes a portion of one or more cord elements.

A ballistic barrier is provided which is relatively easy and inexpensive to install and implement. The ballistic barrier may include a plurality of panels, each panel having a plurality of slats arranged downwardly at an angle with respect to horizontal. When an incoming bullet strikes a slat, its energy is redirected and the bullet is deflected downward toward the ground. Various thicknesses, materials, and dimensions of slats can be used. In addition, the slats can be arranged at an angle somewhere between 0 and 90 degrees, depending on the desired application. All of the slats may be arranged at substantially the same angle, or they may arranged at different angles. Backer plates may further be included to prevent bullets from travelling any appreciable distance beyond the fence. The backer plates may be constructed and attached in a manner that permits airflow between adjacent backer plates. A facing may be included to prevent people from climbing the fence slats.
