The Osprey body armor, used by British troops in Iraq and Afghanistan from 2006 to 2016, was developed due to an urgent operational requirement following the death of Sergeant Steven Roberts. It features a combination of soft Kevlar armor and external pockets for ballistic plates, offering protection against bullets, fragmentation, and low-velocity projectiles. While initially unpopular due to its bulk and weight, it significantly reduced casualties. The armor underwent several iterations, including the Mark II and Mark III, with improvements to modularity and protection.
