Il est beaucoup trop tôt dans le processus d'acquisition pour identifier un modèle particulier qui remplirait les besoins opérationnels.  Si quelqu'un nomme un modèle particulier, il parle à travers son chapeau et ne connait rien au processus d'acquisition. Il existe un projet pour remplacer...

About fleece as an outer garment: I checked the status of ICE/IECS on the Capability Investment Database today.  It has recently passed FOC (Final Operating Capability) stage.  In other words, the project has completed its deliveries and the implementation, and the Chief of Land Forces, as the...

There is an interesting video located at: http://www.afa.org/MPEG/Air_Supremacy.asp It's from the Air Force Association, a definitely pro-airpower US organization.  It does a good job at presenting arguments to convince for the need to modernize airframes against evolving threats.  It goes as...

CG634 is not the MSA TC2000-2002.  Manufacturer X builds gizmo A and the CF buys gizmo B from Manufacturer X does not mean that gizmo A=gizmo B. 

I will rephrase:  The answer to your question (if it's been tested or not and the results) is available to your chain of command.  Your unit supply organization staff should be able to find out /communicate with the LCMM of the helmet or the requirement officer of ballistic protection and can...

Let me try an explication, it might not make much "sense", but it explains the challenge. In summary, the sizes refer to the lasts, not to the freespace in the boot. In 1997, DRDC Toronto conducted a CF anthropometric survey: They took hundreds of body dimensions measurements from more than...

Actually, the Mondopoint system has 72 sizes.  Some people argue we should go to 74 sizes.  Watch and shoot on that one. In theory yes.  In practice, it's more complicated, but the WWb size should be the starting point.  Trying the boot with the sock you intend to wear it with is an absolute...

How would you know if they have been tested or not?  Before stating misinformation about CF ballistic equipment, please ask your chain of command.

The dress regs in theater are decided and enforced by:  the theater commander and his RSM.  Therefore, yes, the guy who takes those decisions is in theater, much longer than typical troops too.    It does not make that decision smart or anything, but it answers your question.  Even CEFCOM would...

And PWGSC, who enforces most of the procurement laws, is DEFINITELY not at war.

That's an easy one, but I will leave the homework to you: a) Find the year the TV was designed (hint, it's before it was issued) b) Find the year MOLLE was introduced (hint it's after date a) c) Find the year MOLLE stopped having stupid introduction issues (it's after date b) We have a slow...

I am an end user of a car.  I have been for years, most days.  It does not make me a mechanical engineer.  I have opinions about which cars I prefer, but that's about it. I am an end user of food, both prepared by myself or from restaurants.  I can tell you what I like, but I am not a chef, or a...

I talked to some of the CF textile ladies about this.  The authorized dress shirts, for male and female, were chosen about 20 years ago.  The Canadian Forces Dress Committee, under the supervision of the Director of History and Heritage (DHH), used a survey to ask preferences to the general...

Is this a joke?  So that ANSI Z87 means that the lens will protect from specific steel ball coming at a speed determined and chosen by the manufacturer when he buys a projector. I am quite sure I can reliably create a steel ball projector, using only two of my fingers.  This projector can...

While at a high-level meeting this week, I had a formal confirmation that there is no IP issues concerning the C9A2 replacement.  Also, the first C9A2 modified by Colt Canada should be delivered within a month, to happy machine-gunners of 3RCR (once they are back from Ex MG, I guess).

I hate misinformation, so there it goes: While at CANSEC, I talked about this (and other issues) with the general manager of Colt Canada. -The contract for the mid-life upgrade of the C9 to C9A2 status was awarded to Colt Canada last month. -They are waiting for the necessary parts and tooling...

Colt Canada website still says that they are doing the C9A2 Minimi upgrades. http://www.coltcanada.com/repair&overhaul.htm

How is the C9A2 dead?

A lire l'article, on dirait vraiment que les FC ont dépensé 100 M de $ pour fournir des jeux de guerre à nos pauvres soldats.  Méchant beau travail de menterie de la part du journaliste.  Le journaliste fait aussi un lien entre l'augmentation de l'utilisation en minutes et la violence en...
