System IntegrationModular Tactical Vest (MTV)
System IntegrationModular Tactical Vest (MTV)
Objective – To optimize ballistic protection with integratedand modular/scalable load carrying capability
– Enables Marines to configure components to best meet operational requirements (APL concept)
– Optimizes/balances human factors (comfort and usability), protection (from enemy threats and environment), and cost (production and maintenance)
Coordinated effort between MCCDC, PM MERS, and PM ICE– Gathered user input during two SME conferences during Dec 05– Brought together Armor and Load Bearing industry leaders during
Dec 05 to assess strategy and determine maturity of COTS solutions
– Conducted FUE in CLNC during July 06– Source Selection conducted August 06
Executing two simultaneous acquisition approaches– Near term solution in FY06/07– Next generation solution in FY08/09
10
Acquisition Strategy
MCCDC prioritized enhancements. 6 vendors submitted prototype vests for Limited User Evaluation (LUE). LUE conducted w/ 40 Marines. 3 designs chosen for Field User Evaluation (FUE). FUE conducted Jul 06 w/ over 100 Marines. Final design review Dec 06.
Funding - $33.7M. Contract Award – Sep 06. Vendor – Protective Products International.
Fielding Schedule
Quantity Required – 60,000. Fielding Schedule - Fielding begins Feb 07
with completion in Sep 07. PPM ICE is coordinating with MARCENT & PP&O on fielding priority.
Sustainment Concept
PM ICE will coordinate with the Consolidated Issue Facility to procure required replacement components, which will be available via the vendor’s GSA catalog.
Description
Near-term replacement for OTV. Uses same soft and hard armor inserts. Greater area of coverage; quick cut away for emergency egress and medical treatment; improved comfort, wear and stability.

Long-term EffortsHeadborne SystemLong-term EffortsHeadborne System
Long-term efforts will involve the development of an “encapsulated
system” which will integrate ballistics, hearing and optical protection,
multi-spectrum vision, NBC capability, communications and advanced
displays compatibility.

Field Food Service System (FFSS)
• Three-ISO standard containers (8x8x20)
Sub-components:
1) The Mobile Rapid Deployable Kitchen (MRDK) employs two of the
ISO containers.
2) The Field Sanitation Unit (FSU) employs one ISO container.
• Capable of feeding 800 Marines in 4 hours, two meals per day (based upon B-rations). However, the FFSS is capable of cooking any combination of rations.
• All electric field kitchen requiring 200 KW to
operate entire system. Uses either non-pressurized
or pressurized water source up to 40 psi.
• Requires 12 Marines to operate. Two shifts of 6
personnel.

Enhanced Tray Ration Heating System (ERTHS)
Enhanced Tray Ration Heating System (ERTHS)
• Components:– Current TRHS: 250 Marines x 2 meals daily
– Quad Cold – Quadcon sized refrigerator that is also used to store and transport the system.
– 2 Field Range Cabinets: Fueled by JP8
– 2 additional tables

Marine Corp MACS Sack and Enhanced Bed Net System
• MACS Sack– 5 liter, nylon compression sack with a purge
valve– Each ILBE will have 4 MACS Sacks– Initial Fielding is 2 MACS Sacks per ILBE to
provide as many Marines as possible with this capability.
• Enhanced Bed Net System (EBNS)– Identical to the IBNS with an added Rain Fly– Developing conversion kits to turn IBNS into
EBNS– Use: on a cot or directly on the ground
