Water-Gen awarded contract to supply Water Supply Systems for French Army VBCI Vehicles
Water-Gen has announced the selection of two of its water generating systems for integration into the French Army's new VBCI vehicles, which will be supplied by the main contractor for this tender - the French company,Cofely-INEO. The Water-Gen systems chosen for the new vehicles are the GEN-40V atmospheric water generator system and the WTU water treatment units. Each vehicle will receive either the GEN-40V or the WTU, according to the French Army's requirements. The systems differ in the source used to generate water- either the air or the vehicle's air conditioning system.
Water-Gen will concurrently supply the IDF and Israel's Home Front Command with a third system - its mobile purification solution - SPRING. All three systems will be presented at Eurosatory.
According to many global military standards, a soldier must be provided with an average per-day water supply of 10 liters. In addition, three days of logistic independence is required for all new combat infantry carrier vehicles, which carry an average of 10 soldiers.. Therefore, in order to comply with these standards, vehicles are required to carry a staggering 300-liter supply of water - a quantity that cannot be stored using common water containers. Water-Gen's one-of-a-kind approach enables the production and supply of water in the required quantities, while utilizing minimum space in the vehicle and without adding weight
