Royal Engineers - Shielder
 
Shielder   Engineers have to clear obstacles - and create them too.

The British Army Shielder 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.

The British Army does not use anti-personnel mines.
