HDT’s patented high-pressure AirBeam technology resists bending. Among the key advantages of AirBeam shelter systems are strength and

durability, rapid deployment, and minimal manpower requirements. A small logistics chain and parts count also contribute to a low lifecycle cost for

each unit. The durability of these shelters has been demonstrated in over 150 consecutive AirBeam shelter erection-strike cycles without incident.

The AirBeam series shelters are available in three 21' (6.4 m) length and four 32' (9.8 m) length models with identical 10" (25.4 cm) diameter,

20' (6.1 m) clear span AirBeam supports. AirBeam shelters offer an abrasion-resistant, water repellent and ultraviolet (UV) resistant cover

assembly with integral floor, an integrated inflation system, external bracing, and stakes.

Standard features of the AirBeam shelter include environmental control unit (ECU) duct openings, a removable lightweight thermal liner with an

air distribution plenum, and integrated hanging straps for lights and other accessories. Several window and door configurations are available,

including end panel and side panel personnel doors, cargo doors, vehicle boot kits, TRICON/ISO container boot kits, and litter airlock interfaces.

With the addition of an optional “complexing kit,” AirBeam shelters can be complexed together; end-to-end, side-to-side or side-to-end.

To erect the AirBeam, the shelter is laid out and staked to the ground at just four anchor positions. The AirBeams are then inflated simultaneously

using a commercial air compressor. Two to three people can deploy the shelter in less than fifteen minutes. The shelter is deployed and struck

with the prepositioned inflation hoses.

HDT’s AirBeam Shelters are the most advanced tactical shelters of their kind. Standard models range in size from 430 – 640 square feet

(39.9 – 59.5 m2) and are offered in a variety of configurations. Their ease-of-use, rapid deployment, and strike-time capabilities meet or

exceed all US Military requirements for a general-purpose field tent. Additionally, the US Army has selected the HDT AirBeam Shelter (Air

Supported TEMPER Types) for Force Provider, their premier base camp.
