Heating and Cooking Requirement

There is an enduring requirement to provide a heating and cooking solution for use within the extreme cold weather environment, • Capability weights no more than 1.5kg • Can be easily packed to a size no larger than 30cm cubed. • Capable of heating 1 litre of ice to boiling water in approx. 20 mins • Capable of heating a space of approx. 4 cubic metres to 25 deg C when the ambient temperature is -20 deg C. • Heat output can be controlled i.e. adjusted from low output to high output. • Can be safely used in a confined space without risk or dangerous emissions or uncontrolled heat outputs (flaring). • Performs as described in temperatures down to -50 deg C (still air). • Can operate in a wind of 15 metres/second. • Performs as described at altitudes up to 7000m. • Is suitably robust for military use. • Can be easily sustained in austere and remote settings.
