Summary edit

Description
English: A Shielder Anti-Tank System is pictured during a Firepower Demonstration at The Land Warfare Centre Warminster, Salisbury Plain.

The Shielder Anti-Tank System 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 programmable life, at the end of which they self-destruct.

Shielder will only lay anti-tank mines - The British Army does not use anti-personnel mines. These mines are carried in canisters, (each of which hold six mines) with up to 40 canisters on a launcher rack. These are on the rear of the Stormer flatbed and discharge the anti-tank mines either side as the vehicle moves across the terrain. A dispenser control unit provides fire signals, testing and arming of the self-destruct mechanism.
