The Soldier Modernization Program (SMP) was a project to improve the equipment of individual soldiers. The project was started in 1998. The purpose of the SMP was to improve the effectiveness of the combat soldier on five points: lethality, survivability, sustainability, mobility and command & control. The result of the Soldier Modernization Program was the introduction of a new equipment package, the so-called Mobility and Continuation Package (MVP), better known as the SMP package.
