In addition to the soldier‘s own carriage requirement, the Small Pack System will provide a means to carry the soldier‘s share of section/platoon weapons, ammunition and mission-oriented stores.
An internal frame backpack with an 80 L capacity. The Rucksack will be a basic issue item to dismounted CF personnel conducting land operations.

The Night Observation Device, Long-Range (NODLR) allows infrared thermal viewing of night or daylight targets during all weather conditions. Infrared thermal technology allows the viewer to ‘see’ heat sources, greatly improving observation in certain conditions such as fog and darkness.
Night Vision Goggles allow soldiers to drive vehicles, conduct maintenance, read maps, navigate, and conduct first aid during periods of darkness. The goggles come with a head-harness that allows for hands-free use of the NVGs. NVGs require no active visible or infrared light source in order to work. The Image Intensifier Tube amplifies existing light, which allows the user to function as in daylight conditions. The user can also activate an infrared illumination diode in areas of total darkness and situations requiring additional light.
