SHELTER Features

BASE-X® Shelters are the most advanced lightweight, rapid deploying tactical shelters available today.  The unique patented folding frame design gives the system its superior strength and its rapid setup and strike capabilities. This performance is achieved while keeping the system to a minimum weight and size when packed, making it more mobile and easier to embark. The folding frame locks into a rigid 3D space frame that is supported by robust leg system. Because of these legs there are no frame obstructions down the sidewall allowing for ingress/egress points every 5’.

The unique features and performance are not limited to the frame. The cover is a well designed double layer system. The outer cover is durable and watertight and has provisions for interconnecting all other BASE-X® shelters as well as most all other shelters and vehicles. To enhance the environmental protection and insulation an inner liner is included, which includes wired electrical outlets, attached air distribution plenum, attached floor (all of which are included in the price of the tent). During setup and takedown this liner is quickly disconnected from the frame presenting the user with many advantages. Most apparent of these advantages is the ability to split the system into smaller more mobile packages, allowing all of the integrated equipment to be left installed, and allowing easy access of all frame components for maintenance and repair.

The BASE-X® system may be maintained, serviced, and operated by the user in the field, without the use of special tools or equipment. The user manual provides all the instruction to perform these functions and training is provided will initial purchases.
