MCS is a universal solution for a wide range of missions and allows the user to 
find the optimal balance of protection and load bearing capability with regards 
to thermoregulation, ergonomics and the operational situation.

“When we developed MCS we had one mission – to develop the system with the best 
ergonomic and functional solutions for any situation and environment based on the
analysis of the combat experience of Russian forces. Among consultants and designers
of this system we had former and active duty operators of the elite Russian special
units,” said Boris Salenko, Managing Director, Group 99.

Specialists had some stringent requirements: the system should be adaptive to covert
operations, long range movements, close quarters combat, and different types of 
climates. Also, the system should provide sufficient protection, be ergonomic and
easy to transport.

With all those requirements in mind, Group 99 designers created a system that can
be used for covert, recon and assault missions. It is certified as NIJ IIIa, NIJ
III, NIJ IV bullet  protection and additionaly equipped with improved ballistic 
protection effective vs fragments with speed up to  630 meters per second.

The operator can adjust the position of ballistic plates and increase the protected
surface without sacrificing the mobility. Load support system allows the operator
to have mobility even when using NIJ IV plates and fragment protection of over 100
square decimeters. Unification of modules allowed to decrease the number of parts
in the system to a necessary minimum, easing transportation and repair of the system.

MCS entered the market in 2020. Some Russian special units already procured the 
system and currently are using it in counter terrorist operations in Russia and 
abroad.
