Passive protection for radiating assets

Protect your assets

ClearShield is a passive, physical protection array built on a unique multi-layer design that combines RF transparency, ballistic resistance and a reduced visual signature — so radars, antennas and command arrays stay protected without going blind.

The problem

The drone threat is reshaping the battlefield

Armed drones and loitering munitions carry high damage potential against radiating arrays. Radars, communications antennas and command-and-control installations are exposed by definition: they have to stay in the open, they have to keep emitting, and they cannot be put behind conventional armour without being blinded by it.

That is the gap ClearShield was built to close — protection the signal passes straight through.

The solution

What is ClearShield?

A passive physical protection array, built on a unique multi-layer design that combines:

[ RF ]

RF Transparency

High transparency to radio waves, uniform across the whole surface. The protected system keeps transmitting and receiving straight through the shield.

[ BALLISTIC ]

Ballistic Resistance

Multi-layer resistance to ballistic impact and blast, in a design tuned specifically for radiating arrays rather than adapted from generic armour.

[ SIGNATURE ]

Reduced Visual Signature

The enclosure conceals what it protects, lowering the visual signature of the asset underneath and denying the operator an easy aim point.

Protection for radiating, strategic and tactical arrays

The system is passive — no power, no emissions, nothing to switch on and nothing to fail at the moment it matters. Its modularity gives it broad adaptability across different platforms and threat profiles.

What makes it different

Engineered for the hit that actually comes

Not one clean shot under ideal conditions — repeated impacts, in the field, on a system that has to keep working.

  • 01

    Multi-hit resilience

    High resistance in a multiple-impact scenario, not a single-shot test case.

  • 02

    No self-generated spall

    A unique design that stops the shield from becoming a source of secondary fragmentation itself.

  • 03

    Structural retention

    High structural integrity retained even after repeated impacts.

  • 04

    Modularity

    High modularity and broad adaptability to different systems and threat profiles.

  • 05

    Built for scale

    A design that supports high-volume manufacturing.

  • 06

    Lifecycle cost

    Potential to reduce maintenance and design costs over the life of the asset.

  • 07

    Uniform RF behaviour

    High homogeneity of RF transparency across the entire protected surface.

ClearShield development principles pyramid: broad adaptability and modularity at the top, descending through reduced maintenance and design costs, environmental resistance, reduced enemy intelligence gathering, reduced visual signature, a unique multi-layer array, ballistic and blast resistance, purpose-built design for radiating assets, and high transparency to radio waves

Applications

Broad coverage for radiating assets

Wherever something has to stay in the open and keep emitting.

The same protection carries straight over to the civilian side — cellular infrastructure, critical communications sites and any other exposed radiating installation that cannot afford to go dark.

About ClearShield

Built by people who spent 20 years on the other side of the requirement

ClearShield — Magen Shakuf, the transparent shield — was founded to close a gap its founders met from the inside: radiating assets that are critical, permanently exposed, and impossible to armour by conventional means without taking them out of service.
