The Soldier Protection System (SPS) provides the Soldier with a modular, scalable integrated system of mission tailorable ballistic protective subsystems at a reduced, from current, weight while maintaining the same level of ballistic protection and mobility provided by the current PPE systems.
The goal of Soldier Protection System Torso and Extremity Protection (SPS TEP) is to provide the Soldiers with modular and scalable/mission-tailorable protection to reduce weight and increase mobility while optimizing protection.
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 a ballistic Army Combat Shirt (ACS).
The Blast Pelvic Protection (BPP) is a component of the Soldier Protection System Torso and Extremity Protection (SPS-TEP). The BPP is a standalone component worn over the Army Combat Uniform and is designed to provide blast pelvic protection.
The Modular Scalable Vest (MSV) is one of four systems which integrates into the Soldier Protection System Torso Extremity Protection (SPS-TEP).
The Modular Scalable Vest (MSV) is a component of the Soldier Protection System Torso and Extremity Protection (SPS-TEP).
