Defender Protector™ Anti-Ballistic Workstation Podium

Price range: $14,500.00 through $16,500.00

Advanced Ballistic Protection, Hidden in Plain Sight

The Defender Protector™ integrates three sides of certified NIJ Level III ballistic-resistant steel in the base, capable of stopping threats up to and including 7.62mm rifle rounds from firearms such as AR-15, AK-47, and .308 platforms. Protection is extended upward with 12-inches, 18-inches, or 22-inches of certified NIJ Level IIIA clear ballistic polycarbonate, providing critical visual awareness while maintaining discreet shielding.

Unlike exposed security desks, the ballistic materials are fully concealed within the wood structure, preserving a professional appearance suitable for courthouses, hospitals, airports, administrative offices, federal facilities, or any security checkpoints.


Encapsulation Technology™ & Threat Elimination Design

At the core of the Defender Protector™ is Encapsulation Technology, an engineered internal structure designed to trap projectiles within the workstation, reducing the risk of spalling and secondary hazards.

This is reinforced by Threat Elimination Technology, which removes all points of vulnerability where transparent and solid ballistic materials meet. The result is a continuous protective envelope—no seams, no exposed transitions, and no weak points.


Built for Real-World Operation

Every Defender Protector™ is designed for daily use in high-traffic, high-responsibility environments:

  • Large Laminate Work Surface — Durable, professional-grade workspace for screening, intake, or administrative tasks
  • Solid Woods Construction — Constructed of your choice of 4 solid wood species: oak, cherry, mahogany, or walnut wood
  • Full-Extension Locking Drawer — Secure storage for sensitive materials or equipment
  • Locking Cabinet Doors — Concealed internal storage with recessed finger pulls for a clean exterior profile
  • Adjustable Internal Shelf — Flexible organization for electronics, files, or safety equipment
  • Heavy-Duty Caster System — Four industrial casters, including two locking wheels, for simple repositioning
  • Easy Glide Technology™ — Removable base trim provides up to 2.75 inches of clearance for smooth transitions over thresholds
  • Integrated Cable Management — Multiple grommets for clean routing of power, communication, and security hardware
  • Magnetic Logo Mount — Embedded front magnets allow tool-free attachment of seals or branding on front panel
  • Ships Fully Assembled — Delivered in a protective crate, ready for immediate deployment
