Fabric & construction
Constructed from heavy-duty, double-layer PVC-coated fabric with welded seams and drop-stitch technology, the DST features vertical sidewalls and a fully inflatable structure that provides exceptional structural stability and resistance to collapse. The double-wall design improves insulation, helping to maintain interior climate conditions while reducing energy consumption. The material is specifically selected for performance in extreme weather, providing a secure, all-weather shelter solution.
This inflatable structure offers the feel of a permanent installation, while remaining flexible to adapt to various mission types. Multiple DST units can be interconnected for modular expansion, allowing scalable configurations for both temporary and semi-permanent operations. The insulation properties significantly reduce reliance on external heating and cooling systems, while the soundproofing contributes to a quieter, more controlled environment—critical in high-stress operational contexts.
Features
The DST includes three inflation points for rapid deployment: two dedicated to the gable ends, which can be inflated simultaneously, and one for the roof and sidewall sections. Each module incorporates two large ventilation windows measuring approximately 65 x 50 cm and a wide entrance door measuring 150 x 200 cm for easy access and interior ventilation.
Climate control is supported by two integrated sleeves per module, each with a diameter of 50 cm, designed to accommodate HVAC or heating connections. Due to the shelter’s solid construction and overall weight, transport and deployment using a forklift is recommended.
