Abstract
Ready armor modular protective systems that can be rapidly deployed in an urban environment. Exemplary armor systems include multiple space frame units. Adjacent space frame units can be coupled together with vertically adjustable coupling mechanisms. Coupling mechanisms (e.g. slot and pin connecting mechanisms) can facilitate relative displacement between adjacent space frame units when the units are connected. In this way, a wall of connected adjacent space frame units can be placed and/or moved along an uneven or irregular surface (e.g. having bumps or a grade) and the adjacent space frame units can remain in parallel and/or vertical orientation relative to one another. Suspension mechanisms can help to facilitate or enable rapid deployment of a ready armor modular protective system.
