Description:
The NGABS provides Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Soldiers with 360-degree ballistic protection. The modular, scalable, mission-tailorable design of NGABS reduces weight over the legacy system while offering increased mobility and survivability. Using the latest technology, the NGABS Heads Up Display (HUD) provides EOD Soldiers increased situational awareness to include enhancing the Soldier’s ability to conduct operations in no- and low-light conditions.
