It is made of hybrid composite barrier panels, thus providing a separate protective element. Modular design that provides ballistic and impact resistance for the entire furniture without requiring additional components. The goal is to develop a protective furniture system. Accordingly, the invention combines kinetic impact energy and ballistic shock waves into a single system. Instead of being confined by the rigidity of a monolithic mass, they are arranged sequentially from the outside inwards. Basalt fiber reinforced cementitious impact layer, viscoelastic elastomeric energy damping interlayer, polymer-based honeycomb core lightweight structure layer and cross A multi-phase architecture consisting of laminated wood (LWW) backing layer with a stepped structure. It aims to dampen the sound. Another objective of the invention is to subject the composite panel architecture to dynamic loads. an integrated high-strength carrier frame system that optimizes transfer by positioning it inside, the interlayers are subjected to intense ballistic and impact loads. Eliminating shear stresses and the risk of premature delamination, the structural integrity of the panel. to preserve its integrity. In terms of operational functionality, the invention refers to the creation of a table, cabinet, or shelf under peaceful conditions. Serving as a standard interior fixture in the form of a unit or partition panel. In the event of an asymmetric threat, it provides wheeled kinematic transport integrated into its lower plane. Thanks to its mechanism, doors, windows or similar architectural structures can be opened in seconds. They can be deployed in front of the openings and secured with ground anchors and mechanical locks. It aims to create a reactive barricade system.
