The Bradley Urban Survivability Kit (BUSK) provides a combination of rapidly deployable solutions designed to enhance the protection, capabilities and functionality of Bradley Combat Systems in urban operations. Conceived by U.S. Army commanders in the field, BUSK addresses a number of Force Protection issues experienced by Bradley crews operating in complex and hostile urban environments.
The kits are easily installed on fielded vehicles with a minimum of modifications. Critical-need areas addressed by BUSK include:

• Battle Command Spotlight – This high-powered, hand-held directional spotlight provides 3 million candlepower (four to five times more light than Halogen equivalents), with 10 times the bulb life, using 24-volt vehicle power and an existing connector.
  

• Sight protection for the turret external optical components – These devices help maintain vehicle ballistic sight capability by protecting them from damage. The design incorporates a mesh encased in a steel frame which does not affect normal sighting functions.
  

• Power Line Protection ? A lightweight, non-conductive “dome tent” structure provides a solution to protect the turret and crew from low hanging electrical power lines at speeds up to 30 mph, with little impact on views from the CIV and IBAS.
  

• CLAW – A light machine gun mounted on the CIV and integrated with the A3 Fire Control System to provide an immediate threat suppression capability for the Bradley Commander. CLAW mounts either the M-249 SAW or the M-231 ball-port 5.56mm machine gun which is fired under armor with existing fire control components.
  

• Mine/IED Armor – This enhanced package is designed to counter effects of Mine/IED explosions.
