Guardian Shield is a next generation integrated Explosive Ordnance Disposal Electronic Countermeasures (EOD ECM) system.

Underpinned by open standards, and by combining Electronic Surveillance with Electronic Attack capabilities, Guardian Shield is flexible, re-programmable and adaptable to protect in the most demanding threat environments, now and into the future. Low Size, Weight & Power (SWAP), rapidly deployable and with a significant reduction in operator burden, Guardian Shield is designed with the user forefront.

The system consists of two main elements: a forward element hosting advanced Electronic Surveillance and Electronic Attack capture effects, and a rear element hosting command and control and processing capability. Guardian Shield is platform agnostic, simple to integrate and readily exportable.
