The IWPS II— an upgrade over the current system fielded more than a dozen years ago is scheduled to be delivered to the fleet during the fall of 2018. One of the key improvements is the use of an internal cartridge to remove viruses.

“The small filter connects directly with the existing Marine Corps Hydration System/Pouch or can be used like a straw directly from the source water,” said Capt. Jeremy Walker, project officer for water systems. “The new water-purification systems could be especially useful for troops assigned to remote locations.”
