The army’s new protection system

The army never stops improving the protective materials that are worn by soldiers. This is a step in the right direction as it is stepping ahead of harmful military tools. The army’s new protection system has new additions that are all aimed at increasing protection for the body parts of soldiers and mobility. The following are the components of the Army’s new protection system:

• COMFORTABLE PROTECTIVE PIECES FOR WOMEN: The protection of nations is vested in the hands of both men and women who signed up for it. For years, protective equipment was built with men in mind but this has changed over the years. The army’s new protection system puts in more effort in the new set to ensure there is increased comfort for women. For example, the Torso and Extremity Protection (TEP) system was built while putting the comfort and protection of women into consideration. The latest body armor too was designed to perfectly fit female soldiers.
• THE INTEGRATED PROTECTION SYSTEM: Ballistic helmets for years have been doing well with providing protection against bullets. The IHPS is a ballistic helmet that provides full protection for the head and face of soldiers. The ballistic helmet is lightweight and provides increased ballistic protection and blunt impact for soldiers.
• THE TORSO & EXTREMITY PROTECTION: This comprises of a Modular Scalable vest (MSV), Blast Pelvic Protector (BPP) and Ballistic Combat Shirt. The modular scalable vest was made to fit into different missions because of its scalability. It is a body armor that helps resist bullet and provides neck, shoulder and pelvic protection. The combat shirt comes to the rescue of soldiers in case of a fire outbreak as it is fire resistant. The BPP provides protection for the thighs and groins of soldiers.
• THE TRANSITION COMBAT EYE PROTECTION: This is an eyewear that allows for easy adaptability to light.
• THE VITAL TORSO PROTECTION: This is a light weight ballistic plate that is inserted in body armors.
