The U.S. Army is seeking proposals for the development of a portable and lightweight system designed to produce potable water from various sources, including salt and brackish water, to support small Security Forces Assistance Brigade (SFAB) teams in austere environments. The system must meet the daily drinking water needs of up to 12 Soldiers by producing 50 gallons per hour while weighing no more than 100 pounds and utilizing onboard vehicle power for operation. This initiative aims to enhance water sustainability capabilities and reduce logistical burdens for military operations, with potential applications in disaster relief, space missions, agriculture, and industrial water treatment. Proposals for Phase I are due by October 29, 2024, with a funding limit of $250,000 for a six-month performance period, and further details can be found at the provided solicitation agency URL.
