Description
The Executive Wood Defender Protector™ Anti-Ballistic Workstation Podium – DEFPRO339 combines advanced ballistic protection with the refined appearance of premium wood furniture. Designed for high-traffic and security-conscious environments, this discreet workstation conceals its protective systems within the wood structure, providing a professional workspace for courthouses, hospitals, airports, administrative offices, federal facilities, and security checkpoints.
The Defender Protector™ integrates three sides of certified NIJ Level III ballistic-resistant steel within the base, with protection against rifle threats up to 7.62mm. The protective barrier can be extended upward with 12", 18", or 22" of certified NIJ Level IIIA clear ballistic polycarbonate, helping maintain visibility while providing an additional layer of protection. The ballistic components remain concealed within the workstation for a clean, furniture-grade appearance.
Encapsulation Technology™ is incorporated into the internal structure to help contain projectiles within the workstation and reduce the risk of spalling and secondary hazards. Threat Elimination Technology is designed to address vulnerable transition points between transparent and solid ballistic materials, creating a continuous protective envelope without exposed seams or transitions.
The workstation is built for everyday operational use with a large laminate work surface, full-extension locking drawer, locking cabinet doors, and an adjustable internal shelf. Multiple cable grommets provide organized routing for power, communication, and security equipment, while the magnetic front logo mount allows seals or branding to be attached without tools.
Four industrial casters provide convenient mobility, with two locking wheels for stability. Easy Glide Technology™ uses removable base trim to provide up to 2.75" of clearance, helping the workstation move smoothly across thresholds. Delivered fully assembled in a protective crate, the Defender Protector™ provides a durable, discreet solution for institutions requiring integrated ballistic protection and professional workspace functionality.
