About

Ministry of Defence awarded a contract to QinetiQ Limited for the hire of environmental chambers to conduct thermal burden research.

The research involved two phases: assessing the thermal burden of the Load Carriage component of the Role Fitness Test (Soldier) and assessing the whole RFT(S) with 10 to 20 individuals simultaneously.

The environmental facility was required to set ambient temperature to at least 20°C, control humidity, and emit heat mimicking solar radiation.

Medical support was also provided to manage potential heat illnesses during testing.

The contract was awarded via the QinetiQ LTPA framework, as QinetiQ is the only UK supplier with environmental chambers large enough for this research.

The contract value was AUD 126,692.
