American Defense Systems Introduces the COBRA Protective Shield
HICKSVILLE, NY--(Marketwire - November 23, 2009) - American Defense Systems, Inc. (ADSI) (
The COBRA is designed primarily for the purpose of VIP protection with its ability to easily roll through standard doorways and onto elevators. The design provides broader coverage than ADSI's Portable Transparent Ballistic Shield ("PTBS"), while being more portable than the PTBS due to its collapsible capability. This also allows for more potential applications, like in a VIP's hotel room, at public speaking engagements, and for outer perimeter security enhancement.
"This new shield also presents a more affordable alternative for security at commercial and government buildings that cannot justify the cost of hardening the entire facade of the structure, while providing effective protection against a specific threat level," said Anthony J. Piscitelli, chairman and CEO of American Defense Systems. "We expect this product to become very popular with both private and government security forces."
The COBRA offers the same high level of quality and workmanship as the PTBS, which recently received a recommendation by the National Tactical Officers Association (NTOA), along with the association's highest rating for design, quality and durability.
