About

MINISTRY OF DEFENCE awarded a contract to Alford Technologies Ltd for the procurement of GLADIUS User Filled Off Route Mine systems to mitigate a capability gap in Lethal Barriers (mines).

The procurement directly increases lethality by providing a means for defensive actions, offensive ambush, and sabotage.

The equipment will support training, capability development, and bolster NATO readiness and interoperability for operations.

The user-filled mine system is identical to in-service systems, minimising Defence Lines of Development (DLOD) impacts and aligning with the existing safety case.

The GLADIUS system is in use with multiple elements of UK Armed Forces and eleven other NATO nations, presenting opportunities for shared knowledge, training, and interoperability with common spares to increase operational resilience.

The contract value is £998,399.4.
