Public Works and Government Services Canada PWGSC is seeking feedback from industry with respect to a Department of National Defense requirement for a Modular Pack System (MPS) to replace the in-service Small Pack and Rucksack. DND wishes to examine existing Modular Pack Systems for consideration during development of a draft specification.
General Considerations The main components of the MPS must be based on Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) or Military Off-The-Shelf (MOTS) designs.
The main Packs and Carriers must be readily detachable from the Suspension System without the use of non-system tools, allowing the user to reconfigure the MPS for a variety of missions.
The MPS must be comfortable and stable when worn with or without body-armour (bullet resistant plates in particular), the Tactical Vest, and the CCMFR.
The MPS should be able to be worn continuously for up to 12 hours without excessive discomfort. Therefore, it must be able to transfer most of the weight to the user's hips.
The MPS should be sufficiently and easily adjustable to accommodate a maximum number of users with a minimum number of Suspension System sizes. It should not require the use of special sizing tools to properly accommodate different users or the same user as their size needs change (naturally, or with different clothing and equipment).
The MPS should provide PALS-compatible attachment surfaces inside and out where practical.
The MPS design should be an overall balance between comfort, simplicity, and versatility.
