AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The modular design enables effective ballistic protection that is portable and scalable, ensuring uniform coverage without the need for supplemental support, while allowing integration with the local environment through camouflage.

Problems solved by technology

While existing systems tend to provide adequate protection, they are not always portable, scalability can be difficult to achieve based on the availability of resources in the surrounding environment, e.g. the amount of sand, and their effectiveness is not always uniform.

Embodiment Construction

[0026]FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary modular sentry station 10 according to this invention. In particular, the modular sentry station 10 comprises a number of panels 1 that are capable of being assembled in an interlocking manner such that a wall or perimeter can be formed. This wall or perimeter can be used, for example, as a ballistic shield. The modular sentry station 10 further comprises one or more ports 2 that can be closed via a door mechanism 3. Through various types of interlocking mechanisms, the modular sentry station 10 can take on a variety of shapes from substantially planar to a V-shaped structure. Furthermore, an optional roof member 4 can be adapted to interlock with the upper panels 1. Additionally, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the modular sentry station 10 optionally includes a floor element 5 that optionally interlocks with one or more of the panels.

[0027] The exemplary systems and methods of this invention will be described in relation to a modular sentry station...

Abstract

A modular sentry station uses stackable interlocking panels that when assembled provide a ballistic shield. The sentry station can optionally include interlocking ceiling and floor panels that provide a partially enclosed, bunker-type ballistic shield.

Description

RELATED APPLICATION DATA [0001] This application claims the benefit of and priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) to U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 60 / 376,846, filed May 2, 2002, entitled “Portable and Scalable Sentry Station,” which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention [0002] This invention relates to ballistic protection devices. In particular, this invention relates to a portable, modular sentry station, such as a bunker. [0003] Sentry stations come in a variety of different sizes, shapes and materials. For example, one of the most economical and most versatile types of sentry station is based on the traditional approach of assembling walls of sand bags around the perimeter of an area to be protected. An alternative, or in conjunction with the sand bag barrier, is to excavate a portion of land to create a bunker that provides both protection from incoming ballistics via the sand bags as well as by virtue of the bunke...
