Firth GS, Enabling Protected Mobility
We specialize in protecting military vehicles and their occupants from land mines and other explosive hazards. Our technologies turn vulnerability into resilience, and risk into readiness.
Mine plough
Surface mine plow, that rakes through the top layers of soft surfaces to lift surface laid and partially buried scatterable mines and clear them to the side to provide a breach. Suitable for use with tracked armoured vehicles weighing more than 12 Tonnes.
Anti Disturbance Mine Roller
A niche full width roller developed specifically to counter certain anti disturbance. IEDs and electromagnetic induction fused mines. Suitable for use with light armoured vehicles.
Ground Standoff platform
A detachable platform that enables mine detect and defeat equipment to be used with in-service vehicles at a stand-off distance away from the front of that vehicle. Suitable for use with a wide variety of explosive hazard detect and defeat equipment and wide variety of vehicles ranging from light 4X4s to MBTs.
Blast protection platform for light 4X4
A specific configuration of the Ground Stand-off Platform that has been adapted to specifically protect light vehicles from the effect of land mine blast, including anti tank mines. Suitable for use with light civilian type trucks.
Other systems:
Mine rollers
Track width and full width mine roller technology incorporating path tracking technology to keep the mine rollers effective along the path taken by the host vehicle when negotiating a turn as well as when travelling straight ahead.
Mine extraction tool
Remotely controlled land mine extraction machine to remove mines from minefields. Used for minefield breaching as well as area clearance.
The Ever Evolving Battlefield
Land mine warfare is an ongoing contest of adaptation. Each time a new countermeasure is deployed adversaries evolve their tactics to bypass or neutralize it, and in turn, new technologies emerge to counter those adaptations. This cycle of measure and countermeasure defines the modern battlefield, where static solutions fail and only those who embrace innovation at the pace of change maintain the advantage.
Innovation Born in Adversity
Effective engineering doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It emerges from the battlefield, the blast site, and the shifting tactics of today’s conflict zones.
Our products are shaped by the realities land forces face, ensuring that as the threat evolves, solutions stay ahead.
