Abstract

DSTO provides science and technology support to DMO for the through-life management of combat ration pack components. This report details the performance of 24 components from the 2010/11 ration packing program following 12 months storage under controlled conditions. The results provide guidance as to the anticipated shelf life of each component and the ability of products to meet warranty requirements. The report concludes that 5 components are expected to meet the warranty requirements, 11 are at risk of failure and 8 have either already failed or are expected to fail.
