Wescom’s Portable Mine‑Clearing Systems
Wescom Defence’s Portable Obstacle and Minefield Breaching Systems, including both Heavy (H‑POMBS) and Light (L‑POMBS) variants, give dismounted forces the capability to quickly and safely breach minefields, wire obstacles and other barriers. Designed for straight-line accuracy and rapid deployment, these systems use a rocket‑deployed line charge to generate a predictable, continuous lane while minimizing exposure. Compact and man-portable, they enable tactical units to restore mobility without relying on heavy engineer equipment—helping speed maneuver, reduce risk and maintain operational tempo even in the most contested environments.
Wescom's Family of Vehicle Launched Grenades
Wescom’s family of vehicle launched grenades provides instantaneous, multispectral obscuration designed to defeat both high-tech sensors and the human eye. By creating a high-volume smoke cloud, these systems enable camouflage, concealment and deception, masking friendly maneuvers and disrupting an enemy’s ability to lock onto a specific attack profile. Beyond visual hiding, these grenades are critical for emergency survival, as they can scatter laser rangefinders and block thermal imaging to neutralize advanced anti-tank threats.
