Modular Scaleble Vest Generation II
The Modular Scalable Vest (MSV) is a component of the Soldier Protection System Torso and Extremity Protection (SPS-TEP).
Transition
The Army awarded three contracts on 21 July 2015.
- W91CRB-15-D-0019 (Bethal Industies)
- W91CRB-15-D-0020 (Hawk Protection)
- W91CRB-15-D-0021 (KDH Defense Systems)
These contracts were for the production of the MSV Gen I. However, in 2017 the Chief of Staff Army (CSA) directed Product Manager Soldier Protective Equipment (PM SPE) to redesign the MSV to increase Soldiers mobility and survivability. On 1 November 2017, the CSA approved the MSV Gen II and the direction received is for all deploying Soldiers to be issued the MSV Gen II when available. Therefore, the Government is no longer pursuing production of the MSV Gen I.[1]
Description
The MSV Gen II consists of a concealable vest with soft armor panels covered in a camouflage cloth and hook and loop. These panels can then be inserted into a tactical outer carrier that also accommodates hard armor protective inserts. The tactical outer carrier also contains two side plate pockets that accommodate soft armor inserts. The MSV Gen II has a single point quick release system that can be configured for shooters preference. The front vest of the MSV Gen II has laser cut Pouch Attachment Ladder System (PALS) and the back vest of the MSV Gen II has a combination of laser cut PALS and 1 inch webbing Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment (MOLLE). The outer carrier is made of a flame resistant outer cloth, webbings, hook/loop, polyethylene stiffener, and several other non-ballistic materials.[2]
