MOUNTED SOLDIER
Abstract
Mounted Soldier System (MSS) provides an integrated suite of critical mission enhancing capabilities to the combat vehicle crew member and commander to address identified capability gaps in their ability to fight, communicate, and maneuver across the full spectrum of operations. The MSS consists of lightweight, modular, and mission tailorable equipment and Command, Control, Communications and Computer (C4) devices worn, carried, or used by mounted crew members in performance of their missions. Major components include a helmet mounted display mounted on the Combat Vehicle Crewmember Helmet (CVCH), an untethered (wireless) communications system, and a microclimate cooling system. Other integral components include a Mounted Soldier over-garment and cold weather gloves, Chemical/Biological/Radiological/Nuclear (CBRN) protection, multi-threat eye protection, ballistic protection, flash/flame protection, and individual weapon holsters. The MSS increases mission effectiveness by improving Command and Control and Situational Awareness while increasing crewmember survivability, endurance, and comfort. MSS enables Mounted Crewman to utilize existing platform sensor, situational awareness, and C4 capabilities in and around their platform, therefore increasing combat effectiveness.
