Systems and methods for isolating open areas in enclosed spaces against triggering events, active shooters, gunshots, explosives and other active threats
Systems and methods for isolating open areas in enclosed spaces against triggering events, active shooters, gunshots, explosives and other active threats
A system and method are provided for facilitating automated and manual segregation of internal areas within a structure, particularly in response to active shooter warnings, or other triggering events. Embodiments may provide automated systems and methods, products and product components to facilitate simplified and automated (1) deployment of mechanized safety and/or security (bulletproof) curtains, including certain safety curtains comprising, or otherwise formed of, replaceable bulletproof and/or other penetration-resistant materials, and/or (2) actuation of mechanized safety and/or security (bulletproof) doors, to effectively segregate open areas and hallways in buildings. Exemplary embodiments may: (a) limit lines of sight of a perpetrator; (b) interdict bullet flight paths; (c) restrict or eliminate a perpetrator's freedom movement; (d) confine areas of detected explosive ordnance detonations or dispersal of contaminants; (e) provide a means of trapping/isolating a perpetrator; and/or (f) provide local safe havens in active shooter, gunfire, explosive detonation, contaminant dispersal, and like threat scenarios/situations.
