Somewhat similar in function to the OGPK is the Picatinny Blast Shield, which attaches to an existing turret. The blast shield has transparent armor and is angled to deflect blasts. Its light weight makes it suitable for use on amphibious vehicles, where weight is critical. It mounts to the top surface of the U.S. Marine Corps LAV-25, at the vehicle commander hatch station. More than 150 Picatinny Blast Shields were fielded in 2007 for the LAV-25.
