Utilis USA Shelter White Papers

The purpose of this white paper is to provide facts about Utilis USA and the TM series of shelters. Utilis USA Shelter Information: The Utilis USA shelter system is a rapidly deployable soft shelter that incorporates a unique external folding-frame design and an internal liner system integrated with the outer fabric. The shelter system sets up in 3-5 minutes with minimal people. For example, the TM54 (600 sq ft) can be erected in under 5 minutes and only requires 4 people. The internal liner has integrated electrical outlets and air conditioning plenum pre-installed. The removable floor is made from a heavy weight material to stand up to harsh conditions in the field and remains integral to external via a novel sandwiched Velcro design to reduce set-up time. The internal liner stays integral to the external fabric of the shelter to greatly reduce the shelter set-up and “under canopy” time. The shelter is packaged into 3 carry bags that make it easy to transport and very manportable. All of the Utilis USA shelter systems have the capability to complex to one another and to other shelters currently in the military inventory. Military Testing: U.S. Army Force Provider and U.S. Air Force BEAR Base have each conducted independent evaluations and gave the shelters very high marks.
