The Rook’s custom-built NIJ Level IV Armored Deployment Platform, includes a sloping partial roof cover and a floor-to-roof front shield. The shield features sliding center doors and bat wing doors on the outer edges, plus independent power for two Go Lights. The ADP provides room for up to four fully dressed officers and is equipped with two locking gun ports, four 5” x 9” sliding gun ports, six bulletproof glass sight ports, and wireless video cameras attached to the front of the platform with video feed to the equipment operator.



When the Armored Deployment Platform is mounted on The Rook, the operator can raise it to 11 feet (to the bottom of the platform) so that entry can be made on the first, second, and third floors. The platform height is also ideal for airplane assault incidents. In a vehicle takedown, the platform can be slanted downward for crowd control and rescues.



The ADP allows a bomb squad to be delivered closer to the proximity of a suspicious device, eliminating long walking distances in heavy protective gear. The Rook can deliver the platform where other vehicles can’t go, including schools, malls, large crowds and more. The platform can be detached and used as a fortified position with room for an additional three officers, as opposed to hand-carried ballistic shields. Additional uses include hostage rescue, suspicious package removal, bus assaults and delivering hostage negotiation supplies, all while behind Level IV Armor.
