Signal & Screening
Vehicle Defensive Aids
Wescom Defence’s extensive SmokeShield™ range of 66mm and 76mm vehicle-launched grenades are integral to any defensive suite employed by mechanised units from Armoured Fighting Vehicles (AFVs) to Main Battle Tanks (MBTs).
The threats to vehicles from being observed and targeted in both the visual and infrared spectrum through sensor-guided weapons, rangefinders & traditional anti-vehicle weaponry are potentially lethal. When SmokeShield™ is deployed, these threats are significantly reduced, as the line of sight (LOS) can be obscured.
A modular concept has been developed to include ‘Air-Burst’ and/or ‘Ground Burst’ payloads, which together, are capable of providing instant protection, augmented with a longer, denser screen as required. Our stores are at the forefront of modern munitions, suitable for use on the most technically advanced weapons platforms.
The product range includes both training and operational variants. The Red Phosphorous product (RP), offers enhanced IR protection. Wescom Defence’s comprehensive SmokeShield™ range also includes non-RP variants, which are less toxic & more environmentally-friendly, whilst providing a robust and realistic alternative during training, or in environments where the effects to non-combatants within close proximity need to be minimised.
