Tactical masts and elevation systems
Applied in sectors
Rolatube Technology is the British company that invented the rollable carbon fiber mast: a solution that resolves the contradiction between portability and height, delivering masts up to 9 meters that roll into a 60 cm tube weighing less than 4 kg. Designed for rapid reaction forces, USAR (Urban Search and Rescue) teams, special operations, and disaster management, Rolatube masts allow elevating radio antennas, ISR cameras, early warning sensors, and illumination in seconds — without tools, without support structures, without complex assembly.
The core technology is carbon fiber laminate in a curved section: rolled on the spool it has zero rigidity, but when deployed it forms a rigid tube capable of supporting lateral loads up to 15 kg at its tip. The 9-meter Quick Deploy Mast (QDM) deploys in under 30 seconds by a single operator: secure the base, extract the tube, and the carbon fiber withstands winds up to 85 km/h without structural vibration. The absence of metal in the tube eliminates RF signal reflection and interference — any antenna operates at peak performance without the Faraday effect that metal masts introduce. Rolatube masts comply with MIL-STD-810 for shock and vibration, are IP54 rated for rain and dust use, and operate from -40°C to +70°C.
The Rolatube portfolio covers all tactical elevation needs. The Deployable Elevated Mast System (DEMS) is the reference for communications antennas at forward operating posts: 3.5 m to 9 m height, articulated base for installation on uneven terrain, tensioner fixing included. The Vehicle Integrated Mast System (VIMS) is the solution for vehicle masts: the mast rolls up in a housing on the vehicle roof and deploys hydraulically without the operator exiting. The RollaLink is the ultra-portable version for elevating portable radio antennas: 2.2 m deployed in 5 seconds, 750 g weight, attachment to combat harness.

Technical analysis of Rolatube carbon fiber deployable masts for antenna positioning in tactical operations. Advantages over traditional telescopic masts, deployment times, and use cases in the Andean and Amazonian theater.
Rolatube carbon fiber masts allow relocating camera and antenna points in open-pit mining operations in minutes, without cranes or civil works. Applications in perimeter security, Kinetic Mesh coverage, and mine face monitoring.

In the Peruvian context, applications are diverse. In disaster response — earthquakes similar in magnitude to the 2007 Pisco earthquake or northern floods — INDECI teams need to elevate emergency communications antennas in areas without infrastructure in under 5 minutes. In the Peruvian Navy, APRA patrol vessels require temporary additional masts for radar detection and communications systems during interdiction operations. In the VRAEM, FFAA forward observation posts elevate thermal cameras on Rolatube masts for night coverage without needing permanent tower construction. In critical infrastructure security — ports, hydroelectric plants, mines — Rolatube allows quick camera surveillance point installation and relocation during construction work or perimeter reorganization.
