The Modular Scalable Vest (MSV) is a bullet-resistant vest that has been introduced by the United States Armed Forces in 2018.
The Modular Scalable Vest is replacing all other body armor systems in use, including the OTV (Outer Tactical Vest), IOTV (Improved Outer Tactical Vest) and SPCS (Soldier Plate Carrier System).[1] The MSV is 5 lb (2.3 kg) lighter when fully loaded with ballistic plates compared with its predecessor, the IOTV.[2] The MSV fully loaded weighs 25 lb (11 kg).[3]
