Abstract: A ballistic-resistant barrier assembly including an elongated barrier having a vertical portion including a substantially horizontal elongated top edge, and a ballistic-resistant device having a first ballistic-resistant panel including an elongated top edge, and an engagement portion affixed to the elongated top edge of the first ballistic-resistant panel, wherein the engagement portion of the ballistic-resistant device is disposed adjacent the elongated top edge of the barrier so that the first ballistic-resistant panel is disposed in a vertical orientation adjacent the vertical portion of the barrier.

Abstract: A composite wall panel for use in vehicles having a floor structure and a front wall, the composite wall panel including a first polymer resin layer having a plurality of unidirectional fibers embedded therein that are substantially parallel to a first axis, and a second polymer resin layer having a plurality of unidirectional fibers embedded therein that are substantially parallel to a second axis, the second polymer resin layer being bonded to the first polymer resin layer so that the second axis is substantially perpendicular to the first axis. The composite wall panel is disposed so that the first axis is substantially parallel to the floor structure, and the rigidity of the composite wall panel is greater along the first axis than the second axis.
