History

The design of the ELCS is such to allow mission tailoring of not only the equipment to be carried but also the platform on which it is carries. This is accomplished by providing maximum modularity in both the pouch attachment method, and also the variety of available configurations of the platform components.

The SPEAR ELCS is available in three types as follows:

a. Type I - Woodland Camouflage
b. Type II - Day Desert Camouflage (Three Colour Desert)
c. Type III - Black
