Super Light WeightRoller (SLWR)

SLWR is designed to help protect lighterMine Resistant and Ambush Protected

(MRAP) vehicles from the effects of VictimOperated IEDs (VOIEDs) over the track widthof the vehicle.

Specification

SLWR is used to detonate and neutralise

mines and VOIEDs ahead of the host

vehicle. The system is generally used

where there is the possibility, rather than

the probability, of the presence of such

devices on an intended route.

SLWR is particularly suited to the lightest

weight MRAP vehicles.

SLWR is compact, robust and light weight

meaning that the vehicle does not need

to carry the excess payload of self-

weightrollers.

SLWR is comprised of two track width

roller gangs each comprising six rollers

each mounted on an individual swing arm

suspension system. Each roller gang is

free to castor and is mounted on the end

of a transverse crossbeam and longitudinal

linkage arrangement that allows the

roller wheels to articulate over undulating

terrain. The wheel tyres are puncture proof

being made from a special wear resistant

semi-compliant polyurethane compound.

A steering system can articulate SLWR

right and left protecting the vehicle when

negotiating corners. Furthermore, a

manually operated variable roller width and

variableroller extender systems can vary

the width and distance of the roller wheels

relative to the vehicle.

To cover the ground where the vehicle willrun, the whole frame of the roller can behydraulically moved left or right as thevehicle turns.

The degree of movement is controlled by

inputs from the driver.The steering system is hydraulicallycontrolled.

Hydraulic power is provided by an in-builtelectrohydraulic power system.SWLR is controlled from a Roller ControlUnit (RCU) mounted within easy reach ofthe vehicle driver.
