Alvis Shielder Vehicle-Launched Scatterable Mine System demonstrating the rapid deployment of an anti-tank minefield. Shielder is adapted from the US Volcano system, its vehicle being based on the Alvis Stormer
Some more information:
In British Army service, Shielder will only lay anti-tank mines. These mines are carried in canisters, (each of which hold six mines with up to 40 canisters), and are carried 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.
