| Abstract | In response to a request from the Canadian Department of National Defence (DND) and the National Research Council of Canada – Automotive and Surface Transportation Portfolio (NRC-AST), the NRC – Ocean, Coastal, and River Engineering Portfolio (NRC-OCRE) performed an evaluation of the current sleeping bag system used by the Canadian Armed Forces (Canadian Armed Forces 1965). More specifically, the mass, packing volume, and thermal insulation of various orientations of the sleeping bag system were measured and reported. The evaluation was carried out in accordance with the statement of work (SOW) that was provided by DND (141209a). This initial phase of the project involving the current sleeping bag system is referred to as “baseline testing” (Task 3.1.1 in the SOW). The following technical report outlines the methodologies and results of the baseline testing and will achieve SOW Deliverable 5.1.2.1. It is intended that there will be a second phase of this project in which the same evaluations will be performed on additional sleeping bag systems that have been submitted as bids to possibly replace the current model. This second phase of testing will be referred to as “evaluation testing” (Task 3.1.2 in the SOW) and will be described in a separate technical report (SOW Deliverable 5.1.2.2). |
