Systems and methods for providing a deployable perimeter security apparatus
Embodiments of the disclosure can provide systems and methods for providing a deployable perimeter security apparatus. The apparatus can include a frame with a box-shape, including a first opposing side and a second opposing side; an anchor device operable to extend from a third side of the frame; a first intermediate panel operable to telescope from the first opposing side of the frame; a second intermediate panel operable to telescope from the second opposing side of the frame; one or more telescoping panels, each operable to telescope from a leading side of at least one intermediate panel; one or more lead folding panels, each operable to mount to a leading side of at least one telescoping panel; and one or more extension folding panels, each operable to mount to either an extended side of at least one lead folding panel or an extended side of another extension folding panel.
1 . A deployable perimeter security apparatus comprising:
a frame with a box-shape, the frame comprising a first opposing side and a second opposing side;
an anchor device operable to extend from a third side of the frame;
a first intermediate panel operable to telescope from the first opposing side of the frame;
a second intermediate panel operable to telescope from the second opposing side of the frame;
one or more telescoping panels, each operable to telescope from a leading side of at least one intermediate panel;
one or more lead folding panels, each operable to mount to a leading side of at least one telescoping panel; and
one or more extension folding panels, each operable to mount to either an extended side of at least one lead folding panel or an extended side of another extension folding panel.
2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the anchor device comprises one or more telescoping struts operable to extend from a retracted storage position to an extended deployed position, wherein, in the extended deployed position, the one or more telescoping struts facilitate supporting the frame in an upright position.
3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the anchor device comprises a square U-shape with a pair of telescoping struts operable to extend from a retracted storage position to an extended deployed position, wherein, in the extended deployed position, the pair of telescoping struts facilitates supporting the frame in an upright position.
4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the anchor device comprises one or more telescoping struts which, in a retracted storage position, facilitate positioning the one or more telescoping struts closely adjacent to the third side of the frame.
5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first intermediate panel and second intermediate panel are operable to slide along one or more frame guides associated with an interior surface of the frame.
6 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more telescoping panels are operable to slide along one or more intermediate panel guides associated with a respective surface of the one or more intermediate panels.
7 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising at least one hinge to facilitate folding each of the one or more lead folding panels to be closely adjacent to a respective extension folding panel.
8 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising at least one hinge to facilitate folding each of the one or more extension folding panels to be closely adjacent to a respective extension folding panel.
9 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a series of sharp devices are mounted on an upper lateral surface of each of the first intermediate panel, second intermediate panel, one or more telescoping panels, one or more lead folding panels, and one or more extension folding panels.
10 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a fourth side of the frame, and at least one side of each of the first intermediate panel, second intermediate panel, one or more telescoping panels, one or more lead folding panels, and one or more extension folding panels comprise a ballistics resistant material.
11 . A method for installing a deployable perimeter security apparatus, the method comprising:
positioning the apparatus comprising a frame with a box-shape, the frame comprising a first opposing side and a second opposing side;
extending an anchor device from a third side of the frame;
extending a first intermediate panel from the first opposing side of the frame;
extending a second intermediate panel from the second opposing side of the frame;
extending one or more telescoping panels from a leading side of each of the at least one intermediate panels;
extending one or more lead folding panels from a leading side of each of the at least one telescoping panels; and
extending one or more extension folding panels from either an extended side of at least one lead folding panel or from an extended side of another extension folding panel.
12 . A system comprising:
two or more deployable perimeter security apparatus, each apparatus comprising:
a frame with a box-shape, the frame comprising a first opposing side and a second opposing side;
an anchor device operable to extend from a third side of the frame;
a first intermediate panel operable to telescope from the first opposing side of the frame;
a second intermediate panel operable to telescope from the second opposing side of the frame;
one or more telescoping panels, each operable to telescope from a leading side of at least one intermediate panel;
one or more lead folding panels, each operable to mount to a leading side of at least one telescoping panel; and
one or more extension folding panels, each operable to mount to either an extended side of at least one lead folding panel or to an extended side of another extension folding panel;
wherein a first deployable perimeter security apparatus is operable to connect to a second deployable perimeter security apparatus, when respective extension folding panels are fully extended, and the respective extension folding panels are closely adjacent to each other.
