Friday, December 12th, 2025

Huntsville, AL / Knoxville, TN — Cana Provisions, in collaboration with Qore Performance, Inc., announces the release of the Water Data ICEFLASK™, a mission-critical evolution of the PRC-152-shaped handheld thermoregulation and hydration bottle that permanently integrates water purification protocols, treatment dosages, and conversion tables directly onto the bottle surface.

Integrated on to the proven ICEFLASK™ platform, Water Data ICEFLASK™ combines 500 ml (16.9 fl oz) of drinkable water capacity with 23 watts of wearable conductive cooling or 17 watts of heating in a rugged, stackable, conformal hard-cell bottle, now augmented with Cana Provisions’ field-tested water treatment data printed in high-contrast ink.

Key Features:

Permanent on-body reference: purification tablet dosing, chemical treatment ratios, boil times, filtration guidelines, common volume/weight conversions, and critical warnings.
Modular thermoregulation that can be added to plate carriers and chest rigs for on-body cooling and heating capability.
Zero additional weight or bulk—no separate data cards or cheat sheets to lose or damage.
Dimensions closely matching the PRC-152 radio for seamless fit in existing NATO radio pouches.
28-410 thread standard (Coca-Cola/Dasani compatible) for improvised field cap replacement and filter compatibility.
Curved geometry optimized for body-worn comfort and pack pocket efficiency.
Stackable design doubles as a replacement for single-use ice in coolers.
100% Made in the USA from US-sourced, FDA-certified, BPA-free HDPE.

Designed for dismounted operations, disaster response, training environments, and austere expeditions where contaminated water sources are the norm, Water Data ICEFLASK™ ensures users can treat, verify, and consume safe water without external reference

“Cana Provisions built their reputation on providing the knowledge and tools to own water security in the worst places on earth,” said Austin Pitsch, Marketing Manager of Qore Performance, Inc. “Printing that expertise directly onto ICEFLASK™ removes one more point of failure: the right data is always there, exactly when and where it’s needed.”

Rheinmetall Awarded Contract for Trailblazer on the UK Multiple Launch Rocket System A2

Thursday, December 11th, 2025

Rheinmetall UK have been awarded a contract by the NATO Support & Procurement Agency (NSPA) to provide Trailblazer Driver Vision and Local Situation Awareness System to the UK Ministry of Defence’s M270 A2 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) platform upgrade. The initial contract will see prototypes delivered in early 2026, with the main production starting later that year. The total contract value is in the mid-single-digit million euro range. The M270 A2 MLRS will be the 17th military platform to use the Trailblazer, which was developed and manufactured in the UK. There are currently seven user countries.

The upgrade programme for the M270 A2 MLRS tasks Rheinmetall UK to design and deliver enhanced Vehicle Vision capability against specific platform requirements.

As a mature, software-defined and SIL(safety integrity level) 2-certified system, Trailblazer is already installed in the Boxer Mechanised Infantry Vehicle, the Challenger 3 main battle tank and the Warrior infantry fighting vehicle. This offers advantages through the standardisation of the entire British combat vehicle fleet.

This programme will see the UK’s M270 A2 MLRS issued with the most modern and capable vehicle vision technology designed to aid vehicle manoeuvre in complex environments 24/7 for both driver and commander. The programme responsibility includes driver vision sensors, remote side and rear vision sensors, delivery of installation kits including hardened cabling, switches and protective covers.

Trailblazer improves crew effectiveness by extending the vehicle field of view beyond the daylight spectrum. With enhanced day light, thermal and fusion vision, Trailblazer offers significant crew advantage in adverse weather, obscured and low-light conditions. Featuring very low-latency, the systems aid terrain navigation, obstacle avoidance, safe route selection and enhanced threat detection. Compliance with SIL-2, (N)GVA and DEF STAN 00-82 video distribution means Trailblazer is safe to operate and easy to integrate.
