Highly Erectable Dome Shelter: Results and Recommendations of Shelter Study

Abstract

Through interviews with U.S. Air Force personnel at Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida, information has been collected and synthesized into a project program defining the Air Force's needs in fulfilling aircraft shelters at COB's. Compu-Cad, Inc. evaluated available portable shelter systems in regard to the COB needs as defined by the program. As an outcome of this evaluation, no shelter systems now available on the market meet all of the requirements. The evaluations and the program have indicated that a fabric/frame portable shelter system with modifications best meets the needs of the aircraft shelter. This report conceptualizes a brief concept of a recommended system to be developed for use as a COB shelter for A-10's, F-15's, and F-16's. Aircraft shelters.
