Military & Defence Applications
1. Deployable Shelter & Camp Systems
Fabric8’s membrane capabilities are ideal for rapidly deployable shelters, field hospitals, command posts, and logistical support tents. These structures offer durability, fast setup, and weather resistance — essential for forward or temporary operations.
2. Camouflage & Concealment Covers
PTFE, PVC, and composite membranes can be adapted into concealment covers, radar-absorbing materials, or modular roofing that reduces equipment visibility and exposure.
3. Protected Canopies & Overhead Cover
Lightweight, tensile membrane roofs provide effective protection for vehicles, personnel, and equipment against weather, debris, and observation, without requiring heavy structural support.
4. Rapid Forward Infrastructure
Fabric8’s modular systems enable quick deployment of temporary bridges, enclosures, storage, or sheltering corridors — supporting both military and humanitarian operations.
5. Environmental Control in Harsh Conditions
Membranes can be integrated with insulation, ventilation, and climate-control elements to maintain stable internal environments in extreme conditions such as desert or arctic deployments.
6. Scalable & Custom Fabric Structures
The contract fabrication model allows custom designs for unique mission profiles, integrating sensors, access points, and modular expansions.
7. Durability & Longevity
Advanced welding techniques and quality membrane materials ensure long service life, UV resistance, and structural reliability — critical for defense applications in demanding environments.
Shelter Systems
Military-Grade Portable Shelters for Defence, USAR, Field Hospitals and Remote Camps
Fabric8 Membrane Services is the authorised manufacturer and worldwide agent of DSI (Design Shelter Inc.) military-grade shelters for defence, USAR, field hospitals and remote camps.
