Researchers create cool, collapsible water containers for Soldiers in the field

SPLOOSH! Taken with a high-speed video camera, these images show the HSCWB filled with five gallons of water hitting a concrete pad from 37 feet. This test was performed three times to ensure that an HSCWB full of water can be dropped from a low-flying helicopter, even onto concrete. The same test, if performed using a conventional water can, would have less positive results. (Photos by John Doucette, NSRDEC Aerial Delivery Engineering Support Team)
