Feasibility Study for the Application of an Easy-Fix Method for Redeploying Damaged ISO Tactical Shelters

Abstract

Tactical shelters are susceptible to a variety of types of in-service damage. This can result from battle damage, handling/transport damage, and environmental damage, and can be of a structural or functional nature. Structural damage consists of damage of sufficient extent to walls, roof, floor, or frame that transportability of the shelter is jeopardized. EASY-FIX is a method for providing the means to evacuate structurally damaged, non-operational tactical shelters using external airlift capabilities. The results of the feasibility study reported herein consist of a preliminary investigation to define structural concepts, material systems, and assembly procedures relative to the stated objectives. The concepts were evaluated with respect to size, weight, and cost. The results are summarized and conclusions and recommendations made.
