Rollup Bullet Proof/Cut Resistant Panel

A rolling shutter assembly for covering an opening of a structure, the rolling shutter assembly comprising:

• a shutter support member mounted at a top wall of the opening;
• a shutter curtain coupled to the shutter support member so that rotation of the shutter support member rolls the shutter curtain onto and unrolls the shutter curtain from the shutter support member;
• and
• a ballistic panel having a panel upper end, a panel lower end and oppositely disposed panel lateral sides, the ballistic panel comprising a plurality of ballistic sheets, wherein each ballistic sheet is fabricated from a high-strength material and has a sheet upper edge, a sheet lower edge and oppositely disposed sheet lateral edges, wherein the plurality of ballistic sheets are attached to each other and to the shutter curtain proximate the sheet upper edges and the plurality of ballistic sheets are not attached to each other along the sheet lower edges and the sheet lateral edges such that the plurality of ballistic sheets slide relative to each other when the shutter curtain and the ballistic panel are rolled up around the shutter support member.

A ballistic curtain for covering an opening of a structure, comprising:

• a shutter support member mounted at a top wall of the opening;
• a shutter curtain coupled to the shutter support member, the shutter curtain comprising a plurality of individual slats and a plurality of hinges interconnecting the plurality of individual slats;
• a pair of side tracks each having a U-shaped channel, each of the pair of side tracks mounted to a corresponding one of the opening side walls such that ends of the plurality of individual slats are received within the U-shaped channels when the shutter curtain is unrolled from the shutter support member to cover the opening;
• and
• a ballistic panel having a panel upper end, a panel lower end and oppositely disposed panel lateral sides, the ballistic panel comprising a plurality of ballistic sheets, wherein each ballistic sheet is fabricated from a high-strength material and has a sheet upper edge, a sheet lower edge and oppositely disposed sheet lateral edges, wherein the plurality of ballistic sheets are attached to each other and to one of the slats proximate the sheet upper edges and the plurality of ballistic sheets are not attached to each other along the sheet lower edges and the sheet lateral edges such that the plurality of ballistic sheets slide relative to each other when the shutter curtain and the ballistic panel are rolled up around the shutter support member.
