Expeditionary Equipment: Soft Wall Structures
Speed, Agility & Functionality
To answer the military’s rapid deployment and force mobility requirements, tactical expeditionary shelters are available in sizes ranging from compact easily transported by hand personnel shelters to enormous vehicle hangars. Respected throughout the world for their superior engineering, ease of use and durability, expeditionary shelters’ modular designs greatly aid missions that require speed and agility, while allowing for functional segmentation and rapid response to ever-changing threats.
Expeditionary Structures
Exploiting energy saving features like radiant barriers and shade flys, folding-frame and air-supported shelter systems provide mission-readiness in highly-fluid urban settings or the world’s most remote, rugged environments – while ensuring reduced fuel consumption. Smaller folding-frame couple rapid setup capabilities with robust durability in rugged terrain environments. These shelters boast a minimum weight and size when packed, ensuring mobility and easy embarkation. When mission parameters call for larger shelters, air supported fabric shelters employ a fiber-reinforced, elastomeric composite capable of containing high gas pressure and resisting bending. High-pressure, air-supported shelters are light weight, low cube, and are rapidly erected.

Complexing
In addition to the array of energy efficient capabilities, expeditionary shelters offer infinite possibilities for complexing and interconnectivity among shelters (including between brands) and vehicles. All door openings interconnect – door-to-end door, side door-to-side door or end door-to-side door. Warfighters may remove or replace shelter end walls with an end wall boot to interconnect shelters for large unobstructed passageways. In addition, warfighters can easily connect almost any vehicle to any of the shelters through the doorways or the end walls – there are several designs readily available for the most common vehicles. Plus the producers of many expeditionary shelter are willing to work closely with FOB planners to design and create any new configuration requirements specific to their FOB.
HDT Base-X Model 305 Shelter Radiant Barrier Blanket
Radient Barriers
Dramatically reducing power generation daily fuel consumption requirements, Radiant Barrier technology improves expeditionary shelters’ reflective and insulative capabilities for enhanced energy efficiency in extreme weather environments.
- Delivers up to 55% energy consumption reductions
- Requires no procedural or operational changes
- Lightweight, with quick and easy installation
- Provides year-round benefits in all weather extremes
HDT Shade Fly
Shade Flys
Shade flys provide shade which reduces shelter interior temperatures, lowers temperature gradients and lowers fuel consumption Shade flys reduce shelter interior temperatures, lowers temperature gradients, therefore reducing ECU loads and lowering overall fuel consumption associated with air conditioning.
- Lowers temperatures 10-18°F
- Reduces ecu energy consumption
- Extends shelter life
- Reduces solar loading requirements
