360 Ballistics is revolutionizing protection through material innovation, not just hardware. At the center of its patented technology ecosystem is Shield, a proprietary admixture added to Portland cement to create a lightweight, air-entrained, ballistic- and blast-mitigating material. This material-based solution enables unprecedented levels of protection in structural and mobile applications, forming the basis of 360 Ballistics’ three primary patented products: Shield, ArmorBlock, and eShield.
Shield functions as a high-performance additive that transforms standard Portland cement (the “flour” of modern construction) into a composite material capable of resisting ballistic threats and absorbing blast energy. Through a combination of controlled micro-air entrainment and advanced chemistry, the resulting material dissipates impact energy and limits spalling or fragmentation. The Shield-enhanced material can be poured in place, precast and shipped, or formed for specific use cases, giving architects, builders, and tactical planners extraordinary flexibility.
One core derivative of Shield technology is ArmorBlock, a patented ballistic CMU-style block system. Designed to match the dimensions and usability of traditional concrete masonry units (CMUs), ArmorBlock weighs approximately 40 pounds and can be installed by any qualified mason using conventional methods. Its true strength lies within: once its internal voids are filled with the Shield admixture, ArmorBlock becomes a ballistic and blast-mitigating unit capable of stopping a .50 caliber round in just 3 inches of material. It exceeds both UL-752 and NIJ Level IV standards, making it ideal for use in secure construction, schools, police stations, embassies, emergency response hubs, and commercial or industrial infrastructure where hardening is critical.
Another breakthrough application is eShield, a patented, integrated version of Shield that includes a specialized EMP mitigation system. Unlike ArmorBlock, which focuses on structural form, eShield is Shield-enhanced material engineered specifically to mitigate ballistic, blast, and electromagnetic pulse (EMP) threats. eShield offers a multi-domain defense: in addition to stopping physical threats, it prevents electronic signal transmission, helping protect sensitive devices and communications from damage, disruption, or eavesdropping. When walls or barriers are constructed using eShield, they form not only a physical shield but also a frequency-blocking envelope, making it ideal for secure facilities, data centers, mobile command structures, SCIFs, and infrastructure vulnerable to EMP or cyber-physical intrusion.
All three products, Shield, ArmorBlock, and eShield, are fully patented, reflecting the originality and advanced functionality of 360 Ballistics’ platform. Each serves a distinct yet complementary role in modern protection strategies: Shield as a foundational material; ArmorBlock as a CMU-compatible structural solution; and eShield as an advanced, multi-layer defense material that bridges the gap between physical security and electronic integrity.
As physical and digital threats converge, 360 Ballistics offers a critical advantage: rapidly deployable, construction-ready, multi-threat mitigation from the material level up. Whether it’s poured, blocked, or integrated into high-security environments, the company’s patented Shield-based technologies provide scalable, tested, and reliable protection, right when and where it’s needed most.
