Rolatube Shelter Frame Deployable Composite Structure for Rapid-Deployment Modular Tactical Shelter
Technical specifications
Technical overview
The Rolatube Shelter Frame is the deployable structural arch system designed to provide a permanent-temporary forward command post, medical triage point, or field communications hub that can be erected on any terrain in 8 minutes without machinery, tools, or construction knowledge — solving the dilemma between the rigid folding tent that takes 20-45 minutes to assemble with 6-8 people and the simple camping tent that doesn't provide the operational height or thermal insulation sufficient for an FOC with electronic equipment.
The 4×6-meter shelter kit includes five 4.5-meter free-span Rolatube composite tube arches that deploy from the 60 cm transport spool in 25 seconds each, joined by the modular aluminum stanchions with quick-connect without screws, and receive the 0.35 mm PVC-reinforced Oxford 600D polyester cover that tensions over the arches with a velcro strap system and corner anchor straps. The complete structure weighs 11 kilograms distributed in three 40×50 cm transport bags — no single element exceeding 6 kilograms for individual carrying by standard field personnel — and 4 people assemble it completely in 8 minutes following the instructions printed on the cover.
The composite arches support snow loads of 150 kg/m² (central Peruvian Andes limiting snow load at 4,500 masl) without permanent deformation, and the structure braced with 8 ground anchors resists lateral winds of 120 km/h — the same structural requirements as NATO military field shelters for mountain conditions. The system modularity allows extending the shelter to 4×18 meters with identical additional arch kits, creating field operations rooms for units up to company size.
