All-hazard protective suit system.
Canada and its allies continue to face a complex array of
security challenges, including the proliferation and possible

mission without risk to health and wellbeing.

programme to study and develop new approaches to body and
respiratory protection for application in military operations
and missions where hazardous and toxic compounds may be
encountered.
The objective of the contract is to develop a tactical
all-hazard protective ensemble for high threat/hazard Chemical
Biological Radiological (CBR) environments that affords the
user complete whole-body protection against unknown toxic or
pathogenic hazards whilst maintaining full tactical
freedom/functionality and prolonged operations on target.
