BAE Systems introduces gun shield to ease transport of vehicles

November 01-15, 2011

Responding to the need to make gun shields easier to transport on vehicles, BAE Systems developed the Marine Corps transparent armored gun shield – reducible (MCTAGS-R), a gunner protection system collapsible for shipment.

The patent pending MCTAGS-R is the first height reducible gunner protection kit designed to meet vehicle shipping height requirements. MCTAGS-R is part of the BAE Systems modular gunner protection system family of protective armaments and provides the same level of protection from small arms and IED fragments as the currently fielded MCTAGS kit. MCTAGS-R can be adapted to any tactical vehicle.

The gunner protection system enhances survivability by providing target acquisition capability and protection from small arms fire and improvised explosive device fragments. MCTAGSR has been configured for installation on the M1114 and M1151 HMMWVs, medium vehicle replacement, logistic vehicle system replacement, mine resistant ambush protected vehicles and joint light tactical vehicle.
