Victus Defense is a combat veteran-led, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business headquartered in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area. Founded by CEO Derek Kottke (U.S. Air Force, disabled veteran) and COO Chuck Freiberg (U.S. Army, disabled veteran), Victus Defense serves as the authorized national sales and service representative for Clear-Armor® — the world’s only patented ballistic glass laminate.
Our mission is simple and personal: harden building access points, defend what matters, and ensure people go home to their loved ones. Both Derek and Chuck bring the discipline, accountability, and mission focus of military service to every client engagement. That lived experience shapes every recommendation and every deployment we execute.
Every product Victus Defense places is installed exclusively by Clear-Armor’s factory-certified Specialty Product Installers — not subcontractors, not third-party dealers, but trained and certified Clear-Armor employees. Backed by Clear-Armor’s Limited Lifetime Warranty and sole-source patent exclusivity.
