The HARD-MS Military Shelter is light-weight and quick to deploy yet tough enough to withstand heavy and repeated use in Military and Civil Defence operations.
In hot or cold climates, for short or long-term use, this robust, one-piece shelter is the ideal solution. With insulated versions available and optional heaters and air conditioning, the HARD-MS Military Shelter is more than a match for the conditions.
It’s also exceptionally versatile and easily adapted for different duties by simply changing the detachable liner pod. A temperature controlled command centre can be rapidly transformed in minutes into a mass decontamination facility, a first-aid post or perhaps a temporary mortuary by simply fitting one of our standard liner pods. And if you need something special, we can work with you to develop a customized liner pod. One shelter – a multitude of uses.
The HARD-MS Military Shelter has been designed for maximum flexibility in meeting operational requirements. It can be used alone or several connected together to create extra space.
The HARD-MS is a highly effective and practical solution for a wide range of applications including:
- Command and Control Centre
- Accommodation
- Decontamination Facility
- Field Hospital
- Toilet Facilities
- Shower Facilities
- Catering Facility
An insulated version is available for use in extreme climates. This can include either an optional air conditioning system or a heater unit.
