Transparent Armor Gun Shield
- Transparent Armor Gun Shield
Built by BAE Systems, the Transparent Armor Gun shield, or TAGS, is a visibly transparent, protective gun shield for operators of vehicle-mounted machine guns. It borrows on the experience of the Israeli Defense Force in using such armour on a variety of vehicles. The shield is intended to provide protection for its user while maintaining visibility. It can be mounted on several models of AFV, including the M113, M1 Abrams and Stryker, as well as on the HMMWV.
