Mine Clearance and EOD Shield

    The United Shield mine clearance and EOD shield is a unique and invaluable shield, which has been specifically designed for mine clearance and EOD work. It is designed to be used by operatives requiring protection from small anti personnel mines during mine clearance operations and EOD operatives in support of EOD technicans.

    The shield has two telescopic legs that can be placed into the ground to support it in the upright position, a centrally located window, and below it a sliding hatch enabling operators to use a manipulator from behind the safety of the shield. Two handles are fitted to the reverse of the shield to assist in carrying it.
