The Shielder minelaying system was used by the British Army to create anti-tank barriers quickly. The system was based on the American Alliant Techsystems Volcano mine system. It was ordered in 1995 and first deployed in 1999. The system consists of up to 40 dispensers, each containing 6 mines, mounted on the flat bed version of the Alvis Stormer tracked armoured fighting vehicle. The dispensers can launch mines to the sides and rear of the vehicle as it proceeds. Each mine has a programmable life, after which they self-destruct. A dispenser control unit provides fire signals, testing and arming of the self-destruct mechanism.

Il s'agit d'une variante du blindé léger de la famille du Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked). Il a pour fonction de créer des champs de mines sur un théâtre d'opérations. Entrés en service à partir de fin 1999, vingt-neuf véhicules ont été construits. Les trois premiers véhicules ont été à Coventry, le reste sur la chaine de production principale à Telford. Le cout du programme, véhicules, système de minage, pièces détachées, etc., est de 110 millions de livres sterling. (fr)
