The SPCS provides protection from conventional fragmenting munitions, and 9-mm handgun ballistic protection. The ESAPI or XSAPI subsystem consists of a set of interchangeable, sized, and contoured plates used in conjunction with the SPCS to provide vital organs protection against multi-hits of small arms threats and indirect fire flechettes. The Enhanced Side Ballistic Insert (ESBI) and X –Side Ballistic Insert (XSBI) subsystem consists of a set of interchangeable, contoured plates inserted into the side plate pockets. The variants of SPCS modular system configurations follow below. Recommended enhancements are encouraged to improve its operational effectiveness and manufacturability. Possible Configurations: a. Plate Carrier base vest only with ballistic panels and cummerbund with ballistic panels. b. Plate Carrier base vest with cummerbund and side ballistic panel assembly (side plate pocket and soft ballistic panel) with two ESAPI/XSAPI and with two ESBI/XSBI. AR/PD 10-04 Rev E Page 9 of 77 3.3.1 Patterns. The Government shall furnish patterns for the baseline design from which the contractor can use applicable parts to create cutting working patterns. Compliance with patterns is needed to meet interface requirements with fielded personnel combat equipment. The working patterns shall include the size, directional lines, placement marks, notches, and provided seam allowances.

Except for the ballistic panels, all the components of the vest shall be cut with a tolerance of +/- 1/8” in accordance with the pattern parts indicated except where changes or enhancement(s) to baseline are proposed. The ballistic panels shall be cut with a tolerance of - 1/16”/+1/8” to ensure maximum protective area of coverage is achieved (see para 3.5, Appendix A, Table V-B). Drill holes are not permitted. 3.3.1.1 Base SPCS and Components (sizes XS, S, MD, LG, XL, 2X).
