FDS Modular Armour Protection Systems facilitate the rapid construction of various configurations of protective emplacements, enabling mobile operations by fast response forces conducting counter insurgency, counter terrorist and other rapid deployed operations.

MAPS is modular, compact and lightweight. It can be easily moved into position, assembled by the operators without any specialist tools or training. Providing cover from view and protection to operators from incoming small arms fire, and ballistic fragments

MAPS provides a key role in secure areas whilst establishing temporary defensive positions such as sentry positions, check points and observation positions and enabling the quick re-deployments to new locations.

Modular and lightweight

MAPS has been designed and developed for safe and easy handling enabling the operators to break down the component parts for easy loading into helicopters, light utility vehicles and maritime craft. Its modular design enables the creation of various configurations of protective emplacement using the same system components.

Ergonomically designed for manual handling

The system is ergonomically designed for manual handling enabling movement along narrow corridors and up stairways or ladders. All individual components are less than (44lbs) (20kg) to enable the handling of the system by even a single operator.

Easy and intuitive to assemble

MAPS is designed so that users / operators can easily assemble and operate the system without specialist training; a short review of the installation instructions in the handbook is all that is required. On average the system takes approximately five minutes to move into position and set up by untrained operators. Trained operators can deploy the system within less than a minute. The systems are self-supporting and do not require any additional fixings for them to stop and stand up to the effects of small arms fire.

Adaptability (flexibility in use)

The system is multi role use and can be deployed at road and Vehicle Check Points (VCP), entry control points, onboard ships and maritime craft, in port and dockside protection, within buildings, on flat roofs, elevated watch towers (over-watch positions), escort control points etc.

Environmental protection and camouflage cover

The system can be equipped with Camouflage and Environmental Cover Assembly. It is designed with an open observation section thereby keeping the elements off the operators whilst they observe the assigned areas of responsibility.

Rapidly deployable and re-deployable

It can be easily man handled into position by two operators. On re-deployment the system can be loaded into a utility vehicle in less than five minutes. The systems are compact lightweight and can easily be packed onto a standard NATO pallet or easily transported within military light 4x4, SUV, helicopters and maritime craft and indeed if required within a standard size car.

In order to provide different user groups with design solutions that specifically meets their operation needs and concepts of operations. FDS has currently developed seven types of MAPS, as follows:

SENTRY Modular Ballistic Protection Emplacement

The SENTRY system is design for use as a rapidly deployable protective emplacement for police and military personnel operating in urban areas. It accommodates two operators and greatly enhances operational effectiveness and safety of the user / operators; multiple role use and can be used / deployed at road and vehicle check points, entry control points, onboard ships in port and dockside protection and within or on top of buildings.

PEGASUS Protected Tripod Weapon Position

The PEGASUS system has been designed in order to fulfil a capability gap in regards to the need for rapid construction of defensive emplacements when employing tripod mounted weapon positions for military use and provides the user / operators with a defensive emplacement for a weapon position that takes only a few minutes to assemble or move to a new position. The system can be easily deployed on hard standings of docksides, urban areas or on maritime shipping as well as on soft grounds.

PROTECTOR Modular Protected Position

Protector is a dual use tactical defensive position for rapid deployment and whilst conducting security duties at temporary locations or during periods of heightened security threats.

CITADEL Modular Protection for an Internal Area

CITADEL has been designed to meet a requirement for internal areas such as trains, maritime craft; civilians can be placed within during times of very high threat and ongoing incidents. Also for deployment with specialist police escort groups that escorts hazardous materials - safe haven for 8 civilian staff in the event of a CT incident.
