Abstract:
A modular ballistic barrier assembly for deployment in proximity to a protected high value asset such as electrical grid equipment. A ballistic barrier assembly comprises a plurality of prefabricated ballistic barrier panel units that can be stacked on top of each other. Each panel unit is made of spaced apart angled steel louvers or slats, arranged in one or more sections. The louvers are arranged in one or more vertically extending, spaced apart rows, having an outwardly facing row of louvers presenting a downwardly angled surface to an approaching projectile, and an inwardly facing row of louvers presenting a second layer of ballistics protection. Steel I-beam support columns are provided at spaced apart intervals to receive and support a stack of panel units. The panel units are made to interlock with vertically adjacent, stacked panels, so that multiple panel units can be stacked.

Claim (Index 1):
A modular ballistic barrier assembly for deployment at a site in proximity to a protected asset, comprising:\n a plurality of prefabricated ballistic barrier panel units that can be stacked on top of each other, each said panel unit comprising a plurality of spaced apart angled steel louvers or slats, arranged in one or more sections, the louvers mounted between one or more vertically extending end support plates: a plurality of vertically extending support columns provided at spaced apart intervals to receive and support a stack of one or more of said panel units between a pair of support columns, each of said support columns including a slot positioned at the top end of the support column and a flange positioned below the slot and extending the length of the support column, such that one of said panel units may be placed into position by horizontal insertion into the slot and vertical downward movement into the support column is confined by the flange; wherein at least one of the said panel units is configured as an upper panel unit to rest atop a vertically adjacent, stacked panel unit as lower panel unit; whereby multiple panel units can be stacked by insertion into the slot of the support columns; wherein said support columns are mounted in an arrangement at the site in proximity to a protected asset prior to receiving said panel units to form a completed ballistic barrier assembly; and wherein said panel units are inserted into a pair of support columns at the site to form said completed ballistic barrier assembly.
