The Virtus Scalable Tactical Vest (STV) is a modular and adaptable body armour system developed for the UK Armed Forces. Designed to meet the evolving needs of modern infantry, the STV allows soldiers to tailor their protective gear to specific mission requirements, enhancing both safety and operational effectiveness.
Key Features
Modular Design: The STV can be configured in multiple ways, ranging from a concealed vest to a fully equipped tactical setup with neck and shoulder protection. This scalability ensures that soldiers are neither overburdened nor under-protected, depending on the mission's threat level.
Dynamic Weight Distribution (DWD): Incorporating an exoskeletal spine, the DWD system enables soldiers to adjust the distribution of weight between the shoulders and hips. This feature reduces fatigue, enhances comfort, and allows for better mobility during prolonged operations.
Quick Release Mechanism: The STV is equipped with a patented Vest Quick Release (VQR) system, allowing for rapid removal of the vest with a single-handed pull. This capability is crucial for emergency situations, enabling soldiers to shed their gear swiftly when necessary.
Comprehensive Protection: Compatible with both Osprey and Enhanced Combat Body Armour, the STV supports various configurations of front, rear, and side plates. This flexibility ensures that soldiers can achieve optimal protection tailored to their specific needs.
Enhanced Fit and Comfort: The STV is available in multiple sizes, focusing on chest size and torso length for a more accurate fit. The design minimizes bulk, improving agility and reducing the risk of heat stress during operations.
Integrated Hydration System: The vest is compatible with SOURCE's hydration technology, allowing soldiers to stay hydrated without compromising mobility.
The Virtus STV represents a significant advancement in military personal protective equipment, combining adaptability, comfort, and comprehensive protection to meet the diverse challenges faced by modern soldiers.
