The combat-driver system uses partial plastoid plates over a flexible field suit, protecting the chest, shoulders, forearms, lower legs, and head while allowing the wearer to operate seated controls. The helmet links directly with vehicle communications, targeting, diagnostics, and life-support connections. Commanders use subdued black or dark-gray helmet and breastplate markings visible to their crews at close range.
