Covering it with Drash.


Command and control centres and maintenance facilities for vehicles and helicopters are two suggested applications for the JS model shelter from DHS Systems. The JS provides a large, clear span, open shelter interior (104 [m.sup.2]), and multiple shelters can be connected end-to-end and on both sides when the construction of a much larger facility is the order of the day. The JS design requires no field assembly, although it takes a team of eight for deployment and striking (accomplished with a low-pressure air bladder) in less than 30 minutes. The JS comes with its own support trailer, which carries a tilt bed platform with which to position the JS on the ground. Removable wheels are then attached to the JS for ease of positioning and expanding, precluding the need for any lifting action. The trailer houses the portable air blower (22.6 kg) and a 5 kW generator set.
