Improved Outer Tactical Vest (IOTV)
The IOTV represents the latest design in next-generation body armor available from
BAE Systems. Designed in close cooperation with the U.S. Army, the IOTV is a modular, lightweight tactical vest. The system is compatible with Small Arms Protective Inserts (SAPI), Enhanced Small Arms Protective Inserts (ESAPI) and Enhanced Side Ballistic Inserts (ESBI).
The IOTV is compatible with all auxiliary components (yoke/collar, throat protector and groin protector) associated with Interceptor Body Armor. BAE Systems IOTV improves wearer comfort and overall performance compared to the OTV. Side closures, emergency quick release and medical access capability further enhance the system's performance.
