Abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided for a ballistic resistant shelter configured for emergency deployment in an open space. The shelter has a structural frame configured to rapidly convert from a stowed condition disposed substantially flat on the ground, to a deployed condition in which the frame is elevated substantially above ground level. One or more anti-ballistic panels are attached to the frame so as to be tilted or lifted above ground level when the frame is deployed. The anti-ballistic panels collectively present enough surface area to shield at least one person from a single source of gunfire.
