Ballistic Combat Shirt
The Ballistic Combat Shirt (BCS) is a component of the Soldier Protection System Torso and Extremity Protection (SPS-TEP). The BCS design is intended to function as an armored Army Combat Shirt (ACS).
Description
The non-ballistic materials used in the torso and sleeves are equal to the ACS in weight and functional characteristics, including flame resistance and moisture wicking. The deltoid and upper thoracic portions of the BCS contain soft armor that provides protection from fragmenting munitions as well as handgun threats. The deltoid portion of the BCS utilizes three separate ballistic inserts that are layered to form an articulating shoulder that does not impede the normal upward motion of the arm at the shoulder joint.
