Shielder - Vehicle Launched Scatterable Mine System (VLSMS)
Vehicle Launched Scatterable Mine System (VLSMS)
The British Army Shielder vehicle gives commanders the facility to create anti-tank barriers quickly and effectively.
The system consists of modular dispensers which can be fired to either side or to the rear, mounted on a flat bed version of the Stormer Armoured Personnel Carrier.
The anti-tank mines have a timed life that is programmed at launch, at the end of which they self-destruct. This removes them as a hazard to military forces and reduces the hazard to civilians.
