Assuming you've gone to the trouble of training, hiding and freezing project members and who'll be waking up in a by definition dangerous situation (e.g. people dead or incapacitated). It always seemed odd that they might have to travel to meet up with the survivors unarmed, or if the survivors came to them they'd need to remember to bring all their fallen comrades gear with them.
I agree with you here. Give them some kind of personal protection weapon and an older technology vehicle, say a civilian off-road with a hybrid drive that uses CNG. That should be able to get them to their destination where the vehicle can be abandoned or striped for parts.

2 The hodge podge of weapons in most of the rules sets.

Isn't it making it much harder to resupply when there is a whole mess of different calibres and even magazine sizes to pick between? Wouldn't the project have just gone with a few reliable systems and trained everyone on them?
My teams have only 5 calibers, which is not that many. You can't get away from having some significant number of calibers. 9x19mm rounds make really bad anti-materiel rifles and .50 handguns are difficult to handle.

3 The autonav

Wouldn't this have been more like a computer than whats basically a dumb map box? Or have some way of helping teams organise helpful reports to prime base. Also if each team only has knowledge of it's own caches what happens if they get sent to urgently deal with something somewhere else where another team had gone off line. Wouldn't they need access to their caches?
I don't know if this was an afterthought or not, but the blueprints/interior layout of all the V-150 variants, the Commando Scout, Commando Ranger and the "One"s all show a computer separate from the Autonav. Also the Autonav can already take track additional things from radar and the magnetic sensor. So it is likely if a team were sent off to an area where another team is off-line, the people sending them should have more complete knowledge of that team and be able to add the additional cache locations to it.
