Abstract
In this paper, solutions for two problems are proposed. One of the problems is associated with increasing the strength of objects, for instance, the strength of windows in industrial buildings and dwelling houses. The other problem is related to electromagnetic shielding. Both of these problems are related to the protection form terrorist acts, since terrorists make use of concentrated electromagnetic pulses to destroy computers or other electronic equipment. The proposed solutions are based upon the manufacturing of glass windows reinforced with cast glass-coated amorphous micro- and nanowires (CGCAMNWs) having a special composition and structure, which increases their tensile strength against mechanical destruction, on the one hand, and imparts them with shielding properties against electromagnetic radiation, on the other hand. The CGCAMNW materials are of interest from both theoretical and practical points of view.

Summary
One of the dangerous consequences of acts of terrorism is a traumatism of people owing to shattering of window glass of administration, industrial, and apartment houses. An urgent problem is to improve the glass strength by decreasing the probability of forming and spreading the splinters during shattering. The reinforcement of glass with glass-coated microwires using an adhesive film increases the durability of the glass under shock and static loadings and prevents splinter scattering in the case of glass shattering. This glass considerably reduces the transitivity of electromagnetic radiation in a wide frequency range—from a few hundreds of megahertz to a few tens of gigahertz. A melt was poured into special molds to reinforce window glass to obtain a sheet blank with a thickness of about 1–3 mm
