Description
BARWA SYSTEM Sp. z o.o. is a Polish manufacturer of advanced metal solutions for the construction, infrastructure and security sectors. The company specialises in the design and production of suspended ceiling systems, ventilated façades, acoustic solutions, decorative elements and bespoke structures.
One of the company’s key areas of development is the creation of systems that enhance the resilience of buildings and infrastructure to exceptional loads. BARWA SYSTEM has developed MEPS – the Modular Explosion Protection System – a modular solution designed to protect façades, building partitions and technical infrastructure against the effects of blast waves generated by explosions. Specially engineered panels absorb and dissipate blast energy, reducing its impact on the protected structure.
MEPS can be used both in new-build projects and in the modernisation of existing buildings. Its modular design allows the system to be applied as a façade element, protective shield, partition, free-standing barrier or protection for mobile infrastructure, including technical, command, communications, energy, storage and logistics containers.
MEPS is also available in the MEPS-LB variant, combining blast protection with ballistic protection. An integral part of the solution is a layer made of certified ballistic materials, complemented by a purpose-designed supporting structure and protective window systems, together forming a coherent protection system for façades and infrastructure.
The solutions incorporate advanced materials, including metal foams, which absorb energy and may also reduce and mask the thermal signature of protected assets.
The product range is complemented by permanent architectural anti-drone protection systems made of metal mesh and supporting structures. These solutions are designed to provide physical protection for roofs, courtyards, technical equipment and energy, industrial and military infrastructure.
BARWA SYSTEM solutions are dual-use and may therefore be applied in both civilian facilities and the security and defence sectors. Potential applications include public administration buildings, airports, railway stations, data centres, energy facilities, industrial plants, military sites and critical infrastructure.
BARWA SYSTEM combines engineering expertise, manufacturing experience and design flexibility to create solutions that integrate security, functionality and the aesthetics of contemporary architecture.

ADAPS —Architectural Drone Attack Protection System
ADAPS —Architectural Drone Attack Protection System
ADAPS — Architectural Drone Attack Protection System is a lightweight architectural system providing permanent physical protection against drones. It creates a passive barrier that limits a drone’s ability to directly reach people, entrances, glazing, circulation routes, as well as protected equipment and infrastructure. It operates continuously without power supply, software, communications or operator involvement, allowing it to complement electronic counter-drone systems. Its modular design enables the system to be adapted to the architecture of a specific building, while openwork infill panels preserve daylight access, natural ventilation and high visual transparency. ADAPS can be used as a freestanding structure, a canopy or an element integrated into a building. It can also perform additional functional and architectural roles, including solar shading, visual screening and support

MEPS-LB protective shutter
MEPS-LB protective shutter
The MEPS-LB protective shutter is a lightweight, modular solution designed to secure window openings—among the most vulnerable elements of a building—against the effects of explosions, small-arms fire and fragments. The system can protect a facility in various threat scenarios: as a manually closed barrier, an automatically activated shutter triggered by an alarm signal, or an autonomous solution operating through local control and backup power. When closed, it protects not only the window opening itself, but also its own guide and fixing system. It can be integrated with early-warning systems, BMS, intrusion and hold-up alarm systems, and local alarm systems, enabling the shutter to close and lock before the threat reaches the building. The solution can be used in both new-build and retrofit projects.
The reference shutter leaf weighs approximately 50 kg/m², while the system requires an installation depth of only 120 mm. Its construction comprises an energy-absorbing MEPS-LB panel, a continuous layer of certified high-hardness armour steel plate, and a system of guides, frames and fixings that transfers loads to the building structure.
The confirmed blast resistance of the MEPS technology is EXR2 in accordance with PN-EN 13123-2:2004, verified in a field test conducted according to PN-EN 13124-2:2004, using a 3 kg TNT charge at a stand-off distance of 3 m. The shutter’s ballistic protection is provided by armour steel plate rated FB3 in accordance with PN-EN 1522, corresponding to the threat posed by .357 Magnum ammunition. The type and thickness of the armour plate can be selected according to the required protection level. The system is available in manual and automatic versions.
The protective shutter system incorporates MEPS technology, in which an aluminium foam core enhances the panel’s ability to absorb and dissipate energy while maintaining a low overall weight. The materials used provide a reaction-to-fire classification of A2-s1,d0. When closed, the shutter also form

Modular Explosion Protection System (MEPS)
Modular Explosion Protection System in the form of cladding panels.
MEPS-LB is a lightweight, modular protection system combining resistance to blast waves and small-arms fire. Its layered external panel absorbs and dissipates explosion energy, reducing deformation and limiting the effects transferred to the protected structure. An integrated ballistic layer enhances resistance to gunfire and fragments. The system can be used as fixed façade protection, a protective shutter, a freestanding barrier or a mobile solution. Its low surface weight, modular design and adaptable geometry, colour scheme and installation method facilitate integration with both new and existing buildings. MEPS-LB is intended for the protection of critical infrastructure, military facilities, industrial sites, administrative buildings and public-use facilities.
MEPS-LB is a modular protection system combining resistance to blast-wave effects, fragments and small-arms fire. The panel consists of a layered arrangement of metal facings, an aluminium foam core and a ballistic layer made of certified armour steel plate, selected for the FB3 resistance class in accordance with PN-EN 1522, covering the threat posed by .357 Magnum ammunition. The panel absorbs, dissipates and deforms in a controlled manner under impact energy, limiting its transfer to the protected structure.
The base system has been tested to the EXR2 class in accordance with PN-EN 13123-2 and PN-EN 13124-2, using a 3 kg TNT charge at a stand-off distance of 3 m. The approximate panel weight is 22 kg/m², while the complete system, including the supporting substructure, weighs approximately 45 kg/m². Typical installation stand-off: approximately 300 mm; panel thickness: approximately 40 mm. Reaction-to-fire classification: A2-s1,d0.
