  7. Current Ballistic Protection forMarines (Continued) Lightweight Helmet (LWH) Ballistic Eyewear Combat Arms Earplugs (Ballistic Hearing Protection) QuadGard

  8. Ballistic Protection Successes

  9. System IntegrationModular Tactical Vest (MTV) Objective– To optimize ballistic protection with integrated and 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. • 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. • 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. 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. Modular Tactical Vest (MTV) UUNS – CDTS#06044UA

  11. Long-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.

  17. 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.

  18. 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
