The Modular Scalable Vest (MSV) is a bullet-resistant vest that has been introduced by the United States Armed Forces in 2018.

The Modular Scalable Vest will replace the Improved Outer Tactical Vest, which debuted in 2008. The MSV is 5 pounds lighter when fully loaded with ballistic plates than its predecessor. The MSV fully loaded weighs 25 pounds.
