But one vital component to any mission involving humans remains an unwieldy obstacle \u2014 water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Troops can carry an average of 100 ounces of water for a standard dismounted patrol. But in austere conditions, far from resupply, that much water can drain out quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two items recently featured at the annual National Defense Industrial Association\u2019s Special Operations Forces Industry Conference aim to solve the water problem in separate ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"200\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/MRE-web.png.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/MRE-web.png.png 600w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/MRE-web.png.png?resize=300,100 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Aqua Gard is a gel-like, orange flavored substance that aims to cut water needs and maintain individual hydration through a combination of amino acids. (Aqua Innovations, Ltd.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aqua-Gard is a gel-like substance that fits into a packet about the size of a peanut butter pack from an MRE (or if you\u2019re lucky, a jalapeno cheese spread pouch).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s made by Aqua Innovations. Peter De Marco, company researcher and developer, told Military Times that the orange-flavored substance can replace four to five 16-oz bottles of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It has a combination of amino acids that helps the body absorb and retain water, which is more slowly metabolized. That would cut weight and resources for dismounted troops, but it also reduces the need to urinate, a problem for pilots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"465\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Survivor-SmartPump-set.png.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Survivor-SmartPump-set.png.png 1200w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Survivor-SmartPump-set.png.png?resize=300,116 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Survivor-SmartPump-set.png.png?resize=768,298 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Survivor-SmartPump-set.png.png?resize=1024,397 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Two products featured at the recent Special Operations Forces Industry Conference aim to solve problems soldiers and airmen face in carrying and filtering water in austere conditions.

The filter instantly cleans the water, making brackish liquid into potable water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One filter will make up to 750 L \u2014 or 1,400 standard water bottle refills \u2014 safe to drink, said company spokesman Jon Grant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"628\" height=\"271\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ILP.png.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ILP.png.png 628w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ILP.png.png?resize=300,129 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Two products featured at the recent Special Operations Forces Industry Conference aim to solve problems soldiers and airmen face in carrying and filtering water in austere conditions.
