Tough conditions require tough shelters - how armed forces around the world support operations in the field with Aireshelta shelters (military shelter image - vehicle in shelter

Leading UK shelter designer and manufacturer Aireshelta, with over 25 years of experience in the field, has been providing shelters for international military, police and security forces for many years, from the UK and US armed forces operating in Afghanistan through to organisations providing event security screening, such as the 2012 Olympics.

Aireshelta’s unique range of customisable shelters feature inflatable sealed beam construction, provide robust, all weather support for short and long term missions.

Sizes range from sentry boxes and small decontamination units through medium size, easily deployed command centres or medical facilities, on up to large units capable of handling aircraft, vehicles and equipment or large volumes of equipment and supplies.

Sealed beam construction gives Aireshelta shelters much greater strength, resilience, permanence and comfort in all weathers than conventional tents with metal pole supports. This supports operational effectiveness and promotes staff comfort and morale.

Aireshelta’s team of highly experienced designers can advise on the optimum designs for mission-specific shelters for military, security and police force missions around the world.  Previous projects have included the use of CAD software to visualise shelter designs for specific vehicle uses.   

Aircraft, vehicle and equipment maintenance:  
Aircraft, mine-protected vehicles, trucks and armoured vehicles can all be repaired and maintained in the field using inflatable garages supplied by Aireshelta. Shelters can be designed to allow equipment containers and portable workshops to be integrated through sidewalls.

Medical and surgical
Mobile surgical theatres and medical facilities in the field can be provided using Aireshelta shelters. Cubicles can be provided in medical units to enhance patient privacy. Fabric loops can be sewn into the roof section at regular intervals for hanging lights, medical drips etc. Velcro panels on the exterior walls allow signage to be placed on units for easy identification.

Military operations, command, control and communications, intelligence
Aireshelta shelters are used for a wide variety of military tasks. Robust, secure structures provide safe working conditions for personnel and high value electronics equipment.

Wide range of fabric types, colours and styles
From desert and woodland camouflage fabrics to white translucent roofs allowing high internal visibility, Aireshelta shelters can be custom built to match specific operational requirements and environmental conditions.

Tented villages, potential for expansion
Modular shelters can be linked together to expand capacity, thereby increasing working or storage areas, or allowing the setting up of mobile treatment processes. Medical teams, during civil or military emergencies, can work together to provide optimum patient care, sheltered, protected and in privacy.
