Well, if you want a naiive conversion:

Renegade Legion-like Grav Shielding:

Shields cause most weapons to either be absorbed, deflected or go astray
when targeting a shielded vehicle.  HKPs, HVCs, and SLAM packs ignore
shields either because their projectiles are too large to be affected
(HKP, HVC) or are `dumb' warheads (SLAM packs).  If a shielded vehicle
is hit by a weapon affected by its protection, roll a d10.  On a 1 the
attack penetrates during the `flicker off' period, otherwise the shot
has no effect.

To counter the effect of the shield the vehicle carrying them must be
`painted,' ie a infantry squad or vehicle with an `artillery spotter'
must make a successful HEL-like (all ranges are treated as `close') test
versus the target.  If its successful all attacks up to /the next
activation of the target vehicle/ ignore the effects of shields.  If the
painting test fails, there is no effect save the wasting of an action
for the firing vehicle/infantry.  /This test may be reattempted in the
same activation./

Grav Shields cost 250% of the BRP.  There is no change in the cost of an
artillery spotting unit (50pts, IIRC).
