BALLISTIC ARMOR PANELS

In high-risk interior environments, standard security measures often leave gaps. Body armor protects individuals, but it can’t secure entire rooms. Fixed walls or permanent bunkers offer strong protection but reduce mobility and flexibility. RTS Tactical ballistic armor panels fill this gap by creating modular, rifle-rated ballistic bunker systems that protect people and assets while keeping spaces functional.

Designed for active shooter situations, emergency lockdowns, and high-risk interior operations, these ballistic armor panels bring rifle-rated ballistic bunker systems indoors. These panels function as ballistic barriers and room dividers, giving teams the ability to manage space while deploying bullet-resistant cover against real threats.

RTS Tactical systems achieve an optimal balance of protection, mobility, and operational versatility. This makes them ideal for schools, government facilities, corporate campuses, and public-facing environments, anywhere safety must coexist with everyday operations.

Each bullet-resistant room divider serves two purposes. During normal operations, panels act as classroom dividers or glass partitions that organize space. During a crisis, those same panels become cover capable of absorbing high-energy impacts.

This dual-use design is especially valuable in schools, government facilities, and corporate environments where permanent fortification is not practical. Some configurations can include a tackable ballistic panel surface for posting notes or signage, while our ballistic whiteboard panels provide a dedicated mobile whiteboard surface that can be staged near doors, then transition instantly into bullet-resistant divider panels during an emergency lockdown. During critical incidents, these ballistic bunker systems provide rifle-rated protection while maintaining a non-intimidating, functional environment suitable for occupied interior spaces.

Protection claims are only meaningful when they are measured. RTS Tactical ballistic armor panels are built and tested to standards established by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ). Each product listing specifies its level of protection and the NIJ test standard used, with NIJ-certified models clearly identified on their individual product pages.

Available options include:

• Level III+ ballistic panels designed to defeat common rifle threats beyond handgun rounds
• Level IV ballistic partitions intended for the most severe rifle threats encountered in hostile scenarios
• RF2 and RF3-rated ballistic glass options aligned with updated NIJ frameworks

Under NIJ standards, lower-level ballistic testing focuses on handgun rounds and pistol rounds, including 9mm handgun ammunition and .44 Magnum. RTS Tactical ballistic bunker systems are designed to exceed those baseline handgun threats by delivering rifle-rated protection with multi-hit capability so protection holds under repeated high-impact strikes and continues to absorb impact when it matters most.

This collection includes multiple configurations to match different operational needs:

• Tactical partitions
  Mobile armored panels in a heavy-duty frame designed as a portable shield partition. These are used as rapid interior cover during law enforcement operations and facility response.
• Solid panel dividers
  Opaque bulletproof room dividers that form temporary ballistic walls for perimeter control, hallway protection, or room conversion.
• Ballistic glass partitions
  Transparent glass partitions that preserve visibility while delivering bullet-resistant protection. Ideal for public-facing areas that require communication and observation.
• Ballistic whiteboard panels
  Steel-backed ballistic whiteboard panels engineered to function as instructional and planning surfaces under normal use, and as instantly deployable bullet-resistant dividers for classrooms, schools, and command environments during active emergency scenarios. Designed to remain discreet and non-intimidating while delivering critical ballistic protection.

All systems are available as standalone panels or multi-panel configurations for scalable coverage.

These ballistic barriers are used in a wide range of interior defense scenarios:

• Law enforcement and tactical units
  Interior cover during building clearing and temporary protection in CQB-adjacent operations.
• Schools and education facilities
  Protection for schools with bullet-resistant dividers for classrooms, libraries, and common areas during active shooter incidents or drills.
• Courthouses, airports, and civic centers
  Discreet ballistic room divider systems that provide defense without altering the public-facing character of the space.
• Corporate campuses and executive protection
  Office-level shielding and panic-room-style protection using partition walls that remain unobtrusive until needed.
• Emergency and command environments
  Rapid setup of protected work zones using portable partitions for coordination during incidents.
• Public-facing environments and engagement zones
  RTS Tactical Rifle Rated Public Engagement Glass Armor Protection Barrier Systems used to provide transparent, bullet-resistant protection in areas requiring visibility, communication, and controlled interaction with the public.

Every portable ballistic partition is built for movement under pressure. Wheeled bases allow responders or staff to block a doorway or create a protected interior zone during an emergency, while lockable caster wheels or leveling casters with adjustment feet help keep panels stable once deployed. Construction focuses on ballistic material selection that balances strength, durability, and interior usability.

Together, these systems form layered ballistic armor panels that can work alongside other protective solutions, including ballistic shields, tactical vests, and plate carriers used by onsite responders, supporting layered ballistic bunker systems during high-risk events.

This integrated approach turns interior spaces into adaptable defensive environments rather than static layouts.
