Camography™ is Defenshield’s proprietary method of increasing the effectiveness of your MDFP product. Instead of traditional camouflage, Defenshield uses imagery ofthe intended environment to ensure maximum concealment.

Camography™ can also be applied to the transparent armor panel of the unit with a one-way see-thru film. Units used in diplomatic or government facilities may use images of wood paneling, ceramic tiles, or other architectural materials. Outdoor protection could include images of gardens, rock walls, heavy woods, or similar settings. Images can also be taken of the location where the unit will be deployed. The match is exact in color, and scale. The transparent armor panel may be tinted, reflective, or utilize the one-way Camographic film to achieve maximum concealment.

The Defenshield Mobile Defensive Fighting Position combines unsurpassed mobility with the highest level of stand-alone protection.  Transportability of the device can be divided in to two categories, operational and strategic.

Operational mobility is provided through the use of casters or filled ATV-type tires, based on the deployment location.  For improved surfaces such as linoleum, asphalt, concrete, and carpeting, heavy duty casters allow the MDFP to be relocated by a single individual.  The unit achieves operational mobility on unimproved surfaces such as gravel, sand, grass, and rougher surfaces through the use of urethane-filled ATV-type tires.  Either option provides mobility under fire, allowing multiple defenders to change positions based on their immediate needs, roll to the location of a stranded or wounded comrade, and even advance on their opponents to gain a superior position.  In addition, unlike handheld shields, the MDFP is free-standing, allowing full use of both hands while remaining fully protected. Video footage showing the ease of mobility for the MDFP is available here.

Strategic mobility refers to the ability to deploy Mobile Defensive Fighting Positions to new and different locations, based on operational needs.  Transport of assembled units can be accomplished using a truck with a lift gate or ramp and winch with a minor incline, or any vehicle with a crane that could be used to lift the unit with the supplied sling assembly.

As an alternative transport method for assembled units, multiple devices could be placed on a “low-boy” trailer for easy drop-deployment using a 2-person team in a few minutes per device.  Pickup of the MDFPs would be accomplished with a winch and a short ramp.

MDFPs are easily disassembled into a few components with minimal tools, and can be transported by vehicle and reassembled on location in a few minutes.

Weight of our standard unit is determined by the size of the unit and the mobility options desired (see notes below):

The glazing and armor protects against 9 mm Full Metal Jacketed Round Nose (FMJ RN) bullets, with nominal masses of 8.0 g (124 gr) impacting at a minimum velocity of 427 m/s (1400 ft/s) or less, and 44 Magnum Semi Jacketed Hollow Point (SJHP) bullets, with nominal masses of 15.6 g (240 gr) impacting at a minimum velocity of 427 m/s (1400 ft/s) or less. It also provides protection against most handgun threats.
