Considered by many to be the most tested, proven and trusted shelter infrastructure in use today by the U.S. Military, the Deployable Rapid Assembly Shelter, or DRASH, has helped military personnel establish rugged, user-friendly command and control centers, rapidly deployable medical treatment facilities, life support areas, and maintenance and logistical support facilities. Its easy-to-use design integrates shelter, mobility, lighting, heating, cooling and power distribution in one complete package to form a total infrastructure solution.

DRASH is internationally recognized as an exceptional integration of shelter, utilities, electronic communications and tactical mobility. Combined together, DRASH provides a total solution for the Warfighter. The solution approach allows the operator to work closely with a DRASH representative to create a seamless shelter system designed to meet the unit’s requirements. To begin the process contact a DRASH representative at
[email protected] or 1-877-GO-DRASH, or visit our virtual layout program online at www.drash.com/vtap.
DRASH Shelters come in six different series and 45 different models that are interconnectable to create various types of footprints that are flexible enough to allow for multiple applications. Additionally, ten DRASH UST Trailers models, power distribution units, heaters and lighting systems provide enough flexibility to configure your DRASH Systems according to your needs. Because of this flexible approach, DRASH has been internationally considered the total soft-walled shelter system solution for command and control, medical, life support, logistics and maintenance facilities.

DRASH IS A TOTAL SHELTER SYSTEM SOLUTION

The basic DRASH shelter design consists of a frame with two pre-attached covers and a ground cover. This means that setting up the shelter does not require special tools or dealing with loose parts. The double layer of fabric also provides a naturally temperature-controlled environment even without environmental support. The shelter’s frame is comprised of pairs of struts that connect at key points in the framework called hubs. These hubs allow the shelter to be pushed up and out with no locking devices for quick set up or take down. Additionally, six different series of shelters in 45 models ranging in size from 112 – 1,120 square feet mean that DRASH shelters can be interconnected to increase or decrease an overall structure’s footprint.
The DRASH shelter’s extreme durability can mostly be credited to the advanced technology of its various components. Titanite®, which makes up most of the shelter’s frame, is an aerospace composite with superior structural properties that have been independently tested to be 270 percent stronger than aluminum for the same diameter and cross sectional area. XYTEX® is a specially coated fabric that is fire retardant, mildew resistant, water repellent and is highly resistant to abrasion and ultra violet rays. All cover fabrics include blackout in the visual and near infrared spectrum and meet Mil-Standard requirements for soft-walled shelters.

The DRASH Utility Shelter Transport (UST) Trailer is an integrated support system designed to provide mobility, power, and/or environmental control to DRASH shelters. Designed to operate in all terrain acceptable for military vehicles and to track behind military vehicles, DRASH UST Trailers conform to established “safe for transport” criteria by the Military Transport Management Command (MTMC) as suitable for “secondary and unimproved roads” and sealift transportability. Many trailers are also certified for air transport aboard select military aircraft.
Select UST Trailer models include Genset outputs ranging from 5 to 35 kW and/or five, eight or 12 ton environmental control units (ECUs) with an integrated strip heater. Those models with ECUs include one or two supply ducts and one or two return air ducts per unit, which are designed to attach to any DRASH shelter at designated points, providing a light-tight, weather-tight air seal. DRASH UST Trailers have been formally tested at the Aberdeen Test Center (ATC) in Maryland and the Nevada Automotive Testing Center (NATC) to meet all relevant U.S. Military standards for UST trailers.

As part of the Army’s Standard Integrated Command Post System (SICPS) DHS Systems’ Trailer Mounted Support System (TMSS) in cooperation with Northrop Grumman Corporation’s Command Post Platform (CPP) provide high mobility tactical operations centers that can be rapidly deployed for command, control and communications on the battlefield. Utilizing the DRASH shelter and UST trailer design, SICPS TMSS Medium and Large systems combine shelter, utilities, power, environmental control and tactical mobility to form a complete command operation center. Set up within minutes, the DRASH SICPS TMSS Medium provides more than 442 square feet of usable space, includes a 5 Ton ECU, and allows for the use of up to 18 kW of power.
The Large system provides more than 1,120 square feet of usable space, includes a 12 Ton ECU, and allows for the use of up to 33 kW of power. Both systems are completely towable by military vehicles and have been tested to maintain ambient temperatures in climates ranging from -50° to +131° F. Because it is part of the Army‘s SICPS Program, the TMSS systems are required to meet all Army requirements for command post systems and have undergone and passed extensive testing at the Army's Aberdeen Test Center. DRASH SICPS TMSS systems are currently being fielded to all U.S. Army maneuver brigade combat teams, including units in Iraq and Afghanistan. The TMSS is available through the Army’s SICPS Program, or sold as a shelter and trailer combination through DHS Systems. ZLIN numbers and NSNs are available for both systems.

Part of the Army’s Standard Integrated Command Post System (SICPS), the DRASH Trailer Mounted Support System (TMSS) Medium is a complete shelter system that provides more than 442 square feet of usable space for command, control and communications on the battlefield. The SICPS TMSS Medium System measures 26.6 feet long and 18 feet wide, and includes two end sections that can be removed to add additional center sections to increase the total length of the shelter. It is packed on to a HMMWV-towable DRASH trailer that provides mobility, 18 kW of power and a 5 Ton Environmental Control Unit to cool the inside of the shelter.
The SICPS TMSS Medium System can easily be set up within minutes of arrival at a new location with no more than four people and does not require any assembly or special equipment to either erect or strike. Operational in extreme weather conditions, such as blowing rain and high wind, the SICPS TMSS Medium System is also able to sustain ambient temperatures of +40°F to +87°F when subjected to extreme high and low temperature ranges of -50°F to +131°F. The TMSS Medium is available through the Army’s SICPS Program, or sold as a shelter and trailer combination through DHS Systems. ZLIN numbers and NSNs are available.
Part of the Army’s Standard Integrated Command Post System (SICPS), the DRASH Trailer Mounted Support System (TMSS) Large is a complete shelter system that provides more than 1,120 square feet of usable space for command, control and communications on the battlefield.
To erect the shelter, the trailer is tilted so that the shelter can be positioned above a low pressure air blower and bladder, which pushes the shelter up from below. The entire process takes less than 40 minutes and requires a minimal number of experienced personnel.
The SICPS TMSS Large System measures 51.4 feet long and 31.33 feet wide, and comes with either a regular end section or optional maintenance door.
Like the Medium, the SICPS TMSS Large is also operable in extreme weather conditions, such as blowing rain and high wind. It is likewise able to sustain ambient temperatures of +40°F to +87°F when subjected to extreme high and low temperature ranges of -50°F to +131°F.
It is packed on to a FMTV-towable DRASH trailer that provides mobility, 33 kW of power and a 12 Ton Environmental Control Unit to cool the inside of the shelter. The trailer also provides the means to set up or take down the shelter via an inflatable air bladder.
The TMSS Large is available through the Army’s SICPS Program, or sold as a shelter and trailer combination through DHS Systems. ZLIN numbers and NSNs are available.
