Are you serious? It would cost a fortune - it is a sophisticated radar-linked anti-missile system.
You want guards with small arms and maybe a couple of crew-served 50's -- maybe.
Even that is going to drive up your price at the pump -- the oil transport biz works on a real penny-pinching margin.

It would cost a fortune and it is actually a stand alone system. You could have one in your front yard if you supply 440VAC 3phase and cooling water. The latest version is the 1bravo witch, it has a thermal "camera" that enables its use as an offensive weapon.
