The safety of Soldiers is a top priority of the Army’s modernization strategy, and the updated Soldier Protection System, or SPS, exemplifies that effort. Overseen by PEO Soldier’s Product Manager Soldier Protective Equipment (PM SPE), the new SPS improves survivability rates and mobility while reducing weight and stress on Soldiers’ bodies. It is the result of years of collaboration that leverages science, innovation, Warfighter feedback and commercial innovation.
