Its core products include transparent armor such as portable transparent ballistic shields (PTBS), folding transparent ballistic shields (FTBS), and VistaSteel laminated ballistic glass systems designed to provide protection against firearms, physical attacks, and explosive blasts. The company's opaque armor offerings comprise crew protection kits (CPK), combat locks, door latches, emergency egress windows, fortified door hinges, and structural armor panels. Additionally, American Defense Systems provides architectural security solutions including ballistic-resistant and blast-mitigating doors, windows, curtain wall systems, and anti-ram vehicle barriers like bollards, steel gates, and deployable wedges. Its services extend to engineering, consulting, detention and security hardware installation, entry control and monitoring systems, intrusion detection systems, and security glass integration across transport vehicles, fighting vehicles, construction equipment, sea craft, and fixed structures requiring ballistic and blast attenuation. Founded in 1994 and incorporated in December 2002, American Defense Systems is headquartered in Lillington, North Carolina. The company serves the United States Department of Defense, various military branches, federal law enforcement and correctional agencies, as well as private sector clients. In the last one to two years, the company has focused on expanding its engineering and product development capabilities to address evolving physical security threats effectively, with continued emphasis on lightweight composite ballistic, blast, and bullet mitigating materials. While there have been no reported recent acquisitions or funding rounds specifically for American Defense Systems, it remains engaged in research and development to innovate proprietary armor technologies that enhance protection and survivability across multiple security domains.

The company integrates cutting-edge materials such as polycarbonate, acrylic, steel, aluminum, ceramic, and fiberglass to deliver end-to-end protective solutions. Its expertise includes project lifecycle management from design and development through testing and fabrication, positioning it as a specialized supplier focused on tactical vehicle armor, architectural hardening, and perimeter defense solutions tailored to both retrofit and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) requirements. Overall, American Defense Systems is a comprehensive provider of advanced defense and security products and services, concentrating on protecting personnel, assets, and facilities against ballistic and blast threats through innovative transparent and opaque armor systems and related architectural security products.
