Rapidly deployable military vehicle repair facility

摘要

A rapidly deployable military vehicle repair facility has a shelter constructed so that in can be put up with three people and a 12 foot ladder. A special tool is utilized to mount sections of the shelter support poles into place for connection. The ends of the poles are color coded so that can be easily matched for assembly. The shelter front door has an integrated detachable particulate screen portion. When the dual filter/ventilation system is running 24,000 CFM of air is drawn in through the facility and exhausted through the rear exhaust systems (12,000 CFM per system). The integrated particulate screen prevents dirt, dust, and other contaminants from being drawn into the facility and damaging the vehicle finish while eliminating the need to replace disposable air intake filters—the integrated particulate screens also eliminate another potential waste product from the system—dirty, disposable fiberglass filters. Around the perimeter of the shelter there are 24″ integrated flaps that act as a rain and moisture barrier. These also act as wind flaps that allow wind gusts to pass through easily to prevent the shelter from acting as a sail. The shelter sits on a heavy duty tarp which is then rolled up under the flaps. The rolled up tarp acts as a berm for ground water and the flaps allow rain to roll off the shelter and away from the interior of the shelter does not enter the system and eliminates ground contamination concerns.
