Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business
Defenshield’s Briefcase Insert (BCI) provides convenient and discreet protection for VIPs, undercover law enforcement and business executives traveling in terror-prone regions.
The Briefcase Insert is thin and light weight — easily fitting into any standard size briefcase, backpack, computer case, or large handbag. It is available in a variety of patterns from camouflage to faux leather finishes.
Constructed of either NIJ Level IIIA or NIJ Level III materials, the Briefcase Insert is capable of sustaining multiple rounds of fire.
The NIJ Level IIIA Briefcase Insert (BCI) is 1/4″ thin, weights 1 lb., and protects against most handgun threats including the .44 magnum round.
The NIJ Level III BCI is 3/4″ thin, weights 5 lbs., and protects against most standard rifle rounds up to 7.62 NATO.

The following items are some basic questions to ask when preparing your Defenshield order.
What is the nature of the threat – small arms, rifle rounds, armor piercing, IED blast?
Will the unit be used indoors or outdoors?
Will the unit be used for riot control or hostage negotiations?
Do you require conspicuous deterrence or camouflage?
Will the unit need to match the aesthetics of it’s surroundings – wood or stone finishes?
Will you need traffic control signage, unit logos or law enforcement badges displayed on the unit?
What is the size of the space where the unit will be used?
Will the unit need to fit through doorways, into elevators?
What are you protecting – people, objects?
(For maximum blast mitigation, units must be secured or lagged.)
What surface are you using the unit on – gravel, dirt road, finished concrete, wood floor?
Will the unit be frequently relocated?
Will you be transporting the unit over long distances or within a few feet?
