Mounted Soldier System

[1] The MSS consists of a heads-up display, cordless communications, micro-climatic cooling, and force protection items.

This system shows vehicle situational awareness information and sensors, and can also control video signals from various sources.

This will reduce crewman heat stress and provide increased comfort during operations in hot environments.

Soldier safety is enhanced with the Improved Combat Vehicle Crewman Coverall, flame-resistant moisture wicking undergarments, ballistic and laser eye protection, and flame-resistant hand, face, and foot protection.

Integration was first performed to a limited extent to 4th Battalion, 9th Infantry Regiment in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

The Mounted Soldier System is standard wear for ground vehicle crew members.
