The Tool of Choice When Protection Against Rifle Threats up to the 30-06 AP Round is Required.
The DS-190 series is certified by HP White Labs to NIJ Level IV and meets the US Department of State standard DS-STD-01.01. This series was formerly the DS-180-P.
The DS-190, caster mounted DS-191, and ATV-style tire equipped DS-192’s are designed to protect security forces in locations where the highest level of threat exists, including terrorist activity and the use of armor piercing ammunition. It is the only mobile, full coverage and full field of view, ballistic resistant tool on the market.
Offering up to 12 square feet of viewing area in a mobile package, the DS-190 series offers protection to the military, anti-terrorism teams, combat groups and observers, infrastructure security guards and anyone else who may come under the threat of hostile sniper rifle fire or terrorist attacks. The DS-190 series is particularly effective for use at fortified ECP’s and overwatch positions.
When a soldier, guard, observer or negotiator is behind a Defenshield MDFP, they become the highest form of deterrence. MDFP’s are available in four levels of protection to satisfy the ballistic threat and mobility requirements of a wide variety of users. Custom sized units are also available.
Custom sized units are also available.

Abbreviations: AP—Armor Piercing; HV—Higher Velocity; LD—Lead; L.R.—Long Rifle; LV—Lower Velocity; Mag.—Magnum; Spec.—Special; SRP—Soft Round Point; M2, M61, M80, M193—U.S. Military Ammunition, Full Metal Jacket, Spire Point.
*The various standards specify different locations to measure the bullet velocity. They are as follows: ASTM—15 ft from weapon muzzle; ANSI/UL—at muzzle; BSI—strike face of the target; DIN—8.20 ft from weapon muzzle; HPW—15 ft from weapon muzzle; NIJ—6.60 ft from weapon muzzle; and SD—10 ft from strike face of the target. For meeting the various velocity measurement requirements, the use of custom (special) powder loads may be required.

Camography™
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.

Mobility
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):
Sample calculation based on DS-192s in use by the USMC in Iraq (36" x 76" with ATV Tires): (3ft x 6.33ft x 30) + 265 = 834.7 pounds.
*Notes: Width and height in the above chart are in feet. Standard width is 36". Custom widths available from 30" to 48". Standard height is 76". Custom heights available from 70" to 84". Weight is in pounds. ATV tires are urethane filled and cannot lose pressure or be shot out. Complete weight calculations and sizing information for all units available here.

NIJ Level IV (Armor Piercing Rifle)
The glazing and armor protects against .30 caliber armor piercing (AP) bullets (U.S. Military designation M2 AP), with nominal masses of 10.8 g (166 gr) impacting at a minimum velocity of 869 m/s (2850 ft/s) or less. The DS-190 Series Mobile Defensive Fighting Position is independently certified by H. P. White Laboratory, Inc. to satisfy the ballistic resistance requirements of NIJ-STD-0108.01 for Level IV protection. This series also meets the US Department of State standard DS-STD-01.01.
DS-190 w/ Casters
The highest level of protection in a mobile, stand-alone device. Most often used in military combat and for high security applications. Allows for superior maneuverability on improved surfaces such as concrete, wood floors and carpet. Additional mobility options and custom finishes available.
