The ESPS would improve expeditionary Warfighter survivability by providing rapidly deployable, mobile ballistic protection against small arms and fragmentation threats. The ESPS also would provide immediate protection to troops at the beginning of a deployment before more robust protection such as sandbags and concrete barriers are readily available.

C.2 GENERAL SCOPE: The contractor shall supply all necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and materials to accomplish the requirements set forth herein. The contractor shall produce fifty (50) complete ESPS modules, in accordance with CLIN 0001, for use during Government-conducted Engineering, Manufacturing, and Development (EMD) testing as required by the ESPS Performance Specification (Attachment 0001).
