Summary
[edit]DescriptionTier Two of the Pelvic Protection Clothing MOD 45153076.jpg |
English: Tier Two of the pelvic protection clothing system. Tier Two is a second layer of detachable pelvic body armour, worn by troops when carrying out higher risk tasks outside the wire.
The system that will provide increased protection to troops on the frontline in Afghanistan. Delivered as an Urgent Operational Requirement and designed to mitigate the effects of explosions on the front line, the pelvic protection system balances protection with the necessary comfort and manoeuvrability for troops to undertake operations. Tier One is worn as underwear, manufactured from scientifically-tested ballistic silk that provides an initial level of protection to mitigate against the effects of blasts, including shrapnel. Tier Two is a second layer of detachable pelvic body armour, worn by troops when carrying out higher risk tasks outside the wire. The third and final tier of the system consists of ballistic knee length shorts, designed for use by troops whose roles demand greater levels of protection on patrol – such as those operating the lead metal detector in teams searching for Improvised Explosive Devices. In an initial contract with Hawk Protection Ltd worth £2.8 million, 12,000 sets of Tier Three will be delivered to troops on the next three deployments to Afghanistan.
