Capability profile
Win-Shield develops inclusive respiratory protective equipment for personnel whose facial hair, fit or head coverings complicate conventional respirator use. Its portfolio includes BTAM variants, powered-air options and related protection products.
These describe the reviewed application scope, not confirmed deployments, released requirements or procurement eligibility.
The C$784,000 DRDC contract runs to March 31, 2027 for inclusive protective equipment. BTAM LE's product page describes future P100 and riot-control-agent testing, rather than completed certification.
Users can enquire about the appropriate protective-equipment variant and its current test, approval and delivery status.
A technology readiness level is not established by the reviewed public sources.
No reviewed Mission area or released Defence need connection is currently published.
These records support this capability and its published Mission area and Defence need connections. A source count is not a count of independent confirmations.
