• Norway Jan-Mar 02
• 6 day patrol
2 Li-ion vs 4 Ni-Cd(2.7 kg vs 13.9 kg)
• Base station radio trialLi-ion : 30 hrs at -32oCNi-Cd: no performance
Li-ion Clansman Arctic Field Trials
Operational Advantages
• Operational benefits confirmed:
Li-ion Clansman Trials – 3 Para (16 Air Assault Brigade)
Operational Advantages
Ø Sept – Oct 02: 10 Day Eagle Lift Exercise
Li-ion NiCd
— LIFE: 48 hours Vs 18 hours
— WEIGHT: 4kg Vs 20.8kg
— Space savings
— No conditioning required
— Rapid deployment due to instant availability
