Abstract
Ballistic Protection Systems (BPS) provides the most technologically advanced protection at the lightest weight available in the world today. It provides the critical ballistic protective systems that save lives, reduce the severity of combat injuries, and increase combat effectiveness by keeping more Marines in the fight. Major BPS programs include: Plate Carrier Generation III (PC Gen III); Lightweight Plates (LWP); Enhanced Combat Helmet (ECH); Improved Ballistic Eyewear (IBE); Integrated Helmet System (IHS) and Hearing Enhancement. The major focus areas of all BPS programs are adapting ballistic protective systems to the constantly changing threat environment and leveraging emerging technologies to lighten the load and increase the mobility of each Marine.
