Description

It is the objective of this project to rapidly expand the development of a Multi-Functional Hydration System (MFHS) to address warfighters initiatives of reducing Size, Weight and Power (SWAP). The stated objective will be accomplished through the execution of a task-based project demonstrating successful achievements towards the end goal. Upon project initiation, a thorough assessment will be conducted on the perceived needs for a MFHS within the military and commercial markets. Current product features will be analyzed against identified shortcomings to derive a ranking system of potential material and/or design changes. Each product enhancement will be evaluated on benefit value, manufacturability, sustainability, and cost impact. It is the purpose of this exercise to contrive a final product design specification that has evolved from market research and commercialization intent. The output of this task will be the development of a requirements specification defining MFHS features, minimum performance limits, materials, manufacturing processes, and quality standards. The requirements specification will be the foundation for demonstrating product enhancements based on market feedback during functional testing
