SANTA CLARA, Calif. – BAE Systems has delivered the first 1,000 Transparent Armored Gun Shields (TAGS) to U.S. Army troops in Iraq under a contract worth up to $4.7 million from the U.S. Army's Tank-automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM).

The contract, awarded in November 2005, called for the delivery of the kits for installation on M1114 High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWV) by January 2006.

“Our TAGS units provide an additional level of protection from small arms fire and IED fragments,” said Paul Para, BAE Systems’ program manager. “TAGS enables direct vision, situational awareness and target acquisition for the gunner.”

BAE Systems TAGS units have been configured for a wide range of vehicles, including Bradley, M1 Abrams, M113, HMMWV, and for the Stryker Common Ballistic Shield. TAGS units are particularly effective in close-combat urban environments.
