Patent number: 11629519Abstract: The present anti-ballistic shelter is a reinforced unit configured to comply with both ISO standards for size and weight, and with the U.S. Department of State Certification Standard for Forced Entry and Ballistic Resistance of Structural Systems. Each end and side wall of the unit is reinforced with wall studs that penetrate the unit's structural framework. Even though these wail studs are welded into place, penetration of the wall studs into the framework ensures acceptable blast, ballistic, and forced entry resistance even if the welds are flawed.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2017Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AS REPRESENTED BY THE SECRETARY OF THE ARMYInventors: Justin M. Roberts, John M. Hoemann, Craig R Ackerman

Patent number: 11293724Abstract: Enclosed structures, such as guard towers, are provided which are designed to be easily transportable, constructed easily onsite and erected in a manner which produces an exceptionally blast resistant structure that is also advantageously designed for positioning within a perimeter wall. In particular, in some embodiments, the guard towers have a pentagon shape and are comprised of a plurality of composite panels. Each panel is able to be constructed onsite. The panels typically have a rectangular shape with at least one half of the panel constructed as a solid composite of concrete and metal. Once the panels are constructed, the panels are erected and arranged in a pentagon shape. The panels are bolted together with the use of vertical face connections. These connections provide better structural integrity, retained over time, particularly after subjection to a blast. In addition, the pentagon shape provides improved safety when positioned along a perimeter wall.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2020Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AS REPRESENTED BY THE SECRETARY OF THE ARMYInventors: John M Hoemann, Justin M Roberts

Patent number: 11267516Abstract: A Hardened Alternative Trailer System (HATS) is described, including methods of producing same. HATS has superior blast, ballistic and forced entry protection properties, relative to existing structures, due to particular features of frame design and construction methods. Furthermore, HATS is a low-cost reinforced ISO container suitable for field and/or remote fabrication and meets blast, ballistic/projectile and/or forced entry threats such as the U.S. Department of State Certification Standard SD-STD-01.01, Revision G.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2013Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AS REPRESENTED BY THE SECRETARY OF THE ARMYInventors: Justin M Roberts, John M Hoemann, Craig R Ackerman

Patent number: 10858855Abstract: The modular anti-ballistic shelter system includes two end units and, optionally, additional middle units for a wider structure. End and middle units may also stack atop each other for multi-story structures. Each unit is configured to comply with both ISO standards for size and weight, and with the U.S. Department of State Certification Standard for Forced Entry and Ballistic Resistance of Structural Systems. Each exterior wall of each end unit and each middle unit is reinforced with wall studs that penetrate the unit's structural framework of beams and frames. Even though these wall studs are welded into place, penetration of the wall studs into the beams and frames ensures acceptable blast, ballistic, and forced entry resistance even if the welds are flawed.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2019Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AS REPRESENTED BY THE SECRETARY OF THE ARMYInventors: Justin M Roberts, John M Hoemann, Craig R Ackerman
