Modular Protective Systems (MPS)

These seem to be great replacements for HESCOs.

Currently testing going on in Afghanistan. No need to fill them, if the VSP moves you pack them up in their TRICON and sling load them off. I've seen video of these in a Mortar protective pit taking 107mm, 82mm, 81mm, RPG, 7.62 rounds with no effects on interior.
