PROTECTION ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS LLC

Protection Engineering Consultants LLC specializes in advanced research and development for physical security, structural resilience, and cybersecurity mitigation in critical infrastructure systems. Their technical expertise spans ballistic threat modeling, railcar retention and glazing systems, bridge protection from human-made hazards, and automated testing platforms for ballistic validation. The firm leverages engineering analysis, computational simulation, and prototype development to deliver innovative solutions for high-consequence environments, with a demonstrated focus on translating SBIR/STTR research into practical defense and transportation applications. Key differentiators include their niche in integrating physical security design with emerging cyber-physical threat paradigms, particularly in transportation and defense contexts. The contractor maintains a strong track record with the Department of Transportation, delivering research-driven safety enhancements for passenger rail and bridge infrastructure, and with the Department of Defense, supporting advanced test device development and threat simulation systems. They also provide engineering services to the General Services Administration for architectural and engineering design on federal facility projects, indicating adaptability between R&D and conventional A/E delivery models. Their primary focus lies in NAICS 541715, where they conduct applied physical sciences research—particularly in impact dynamics, material response, and system-level security engineering—while also delivering traditional engineering services under 541330 for federal construction projects. This dual focus positions them as a specialized R&D firm with operational engineering execution capacity, serving high-security public infrastructure markets. As a small business structured as a 2L entity based in Dripping Springs, Texas, Protection Engineering Consultants LLC operates without federal certifications but demonstrates consistent engagement across federal R&D and engineering procurement channels. Their geographic footprint and project scope reflect a strategic alignment with national security and transportation resilience priorities.
