Abstract
An kinetic object protection system for protecting a space in a building or vehicle from a threat, the system including a plurality of smart devices at least one of which is connected to a remote server, the system for protecting the space by deploying a protective barrier including one or more sheets having a lightweight, flexible, ballistic resistant material, such as woven sheets, nets, or mesh. A plurality of sheets may be laminated together by using a glue, heat weld, or stitching or some other laminating process. The system includes an automated control system operably configured to, upon detection of the threat, cause a change in state of the barrier from a retracted state to a protective deployed state. The barriers are adapted to be resistant to penetration by the kinetic objects such as vehicles, moving persons, bullets, or shrapnel, for example.
