Minimum requirements

Heat shields must meet the following minimum requirements:

Features / capabilities of the system

Cover completely the operator's compartment of the AEV and ARV
vehicles without reducing the operational performances of the
platform (AEV and ARV). The heat shield covers the operator's
compartment of the AEV and ARV which is approximately 3 meters
by 4 meters. 

The complete heat shield shall provide an internal temperature
reduction of the platform of 25o Celsius with the addition of
the heat shield. 

The complete heat shield shall be designed with hidden pockets
for the installation of anchor points and metallic strengthening
bars metal (anti-beating).

The complete design shall be done with adjustable magnetic
anchoring points for the fine fitting of the heat shield in
order to leave an appropriate air space for convection. It is
necessary to leave an air gap of at least 1 cm. 

Installation of sliding bands made of Teflon / Neoprene on the
critical edges of the platform to avoid premature wear of the
heat shield textile

Spacing and raised sewing threads shall be placed on the edges
of the platform to increase the effect of convection.

Installation of exits of ventilation on the superior section of
the vehicle to allow the warm air to be evacuated. These exits
shall e positioned around the 2 hatches on the top and 6
hépiscopes of observation 

Installation of a bundle of additional spacing Polyaramide
materials on horizontal parts of the platform to favor the
convection in those areas

Use of dust resistant and washable Velcros that are washable
with a high pressure wash machine to allow quick installation
and a fine adjustment

Functional Specifications

The heat shield system consists of a PVC coated 2 mm fiberglass
textile with the inside covered with a thin film aluminized layer

The color of heat shield is beige "White Sand" 

A 1,25 cm thick spacing textile made with high temperature
resistan polyaramide is glued on the internal surface of the PVC
fiberglass textile to allow a convective air flow  

The heat shield system must be capable of absorbing or
reflecting all the spectre of radiation of the sun 

The specific mass of the heat shield must not exceed 250 g / m2 

Melting point of the heat shield is over 200o Celsius 

All sewing must be sealed against dust and water 

Integrated Fireproof agents in all the parts of the textile 

Installation of anti-skid zones on the finished heat shield that
are specific to the vehicle and the needs for the users 

Resistance against continuous beatings under high winds and on
high speed vehicle  (> 100 km / hr)

applicable on the basis of limited tendering due to reasons
where, for works of art, or for reasons connected with the
protection of patents, copyrights or other exclusive rights, or
proprietary information or where there is an absence of
competition for technical reasons, the goods or services can be
supplied only by a particular supplier and no reasonable
alternative or substitute exists.

pre-identified contractor. If no other supplier submits, on or
before the closing date, a Statement of Capabilities that meets
the requirements set out in the ACAN, the contracting authority
may then proceed with the award.  However, should a Statement of
Capabilities be found to meet the requirements set out in the
ACAN, then the contracting authority will proceed to a full
tendering process.

Suppliers who consider themselves fully qualified and available
to provide the services/goods described herein, may submit a
statement of capabilities in writing to the contact person
identified in this Notice on or before the closing date of this
Notice. The statement of capabilities must clearly demonstrate
how the supplier meets the advertised requirements.

The PWGSC file number, the contracting officer's name and the
closing date of the ACAN must appear on the outside of the
