reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA221236 | Open PDF

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 Forces needs in fulfilling aircraft shelters at COBs. 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 fabricframe 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-10s, F-15s, and F-16s. Aircraft shelters.
