In 3051, the Federated Commonwealth started research on the Blue Shield Particle Field Damper, a defensive system that would cut down on damage from PPCs. The New Avalon Institute of Science produced a prototype in 3053. While the field damper did shield the equipped unit from PPC fire, it was also notoriously unreliable in ground units. After roughly a minute of operation, the dust and other miscellaneous debris it sucked in began to adversely affect the operation of the damper, eventually resulting in shutdown of the system.[1]
In game terms, the Blue Shield occupies one slot for every location (excluding the head in BattleMechs) and weighs three tons.[1]
