The U.S. Military especially the Army & Marine Corps, place a high value on providing Hot Meals to the troops to maintain good morale. The market for the Flameless Ration Heater is HUGE!



The most well-known such product is the U.S. military’s Meal-Ready-to-Eat (MRE) ration. Over the current five year period, the U.S. Department of Defense will spend up to $950 million on these MREs, purchasing some 42 million units per year. The FRHs are purchased by the MRE prime contractors (assemblers) under a subcontract, at a cost of approximately $36 million per year. In addition to generating more heat for less cost in the same packaging, this new technology conforms perfectly to current MRE performance requirements, and operates in an identical manner to current MRE Flameless Ration Heaters.
