Alaska Tent and Tarp is working with TriosynŽ Corporation and the US Army's Natick Soldier Center to develop a line of portable shelters to guard warfighters against a broad spectrum of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) threats on the battlefield.
Triosyn Corp. has developed a unique antimicrobial technology that can be deployed in a variety of products either to protect against microbial threats or to prevent microbial degradation of articles. Triosyn technology has been tested by third-party military, commercial, and academic laboratories.
How it works:
- TriosynŽ T50 Powder is integrated into first layer of filter
- Filter is incorporated into shelter body developed by Alaska Tent & Tarp
- Filter contains Military-grade impregnated carbon for CWA protection
- Occupants’ breathing promotes air exchange
Non-Powered CBRN Shelter: Benefit to Warfighter
The non-powered CBRN shelter eliminates cumbersome external power supply, environmental control, and filtration units by incorporating filter media into the body of the shelter. Low air resistance filtration composite allows air exchange while providing protection against chemical, biological, and residual nuclear attack.
Desired Collective Protection (COLPRO) Features
- Protected rest environment
- Reduced size and weight
- Minimal maintenance
- Non-powered
- Low logistics
- Easy to use
- Designed and tested under Natick R&D Contract
- Unique fly design promotes air exchange while protecting from wind and rain
- Soldiers can remove MOPP gear and maintain CBRN protection inside shelter
- Chemical protection factor equivalent to M40 Mask
Current Development Projects
2005 R&D is focused on applying Triosyn’s proven passive filtration technology into other protective shelters. Alaska Tent & Tarp and Triosyn Corp. are working together to evaluate user requirements for non-powered shelters. Developments include:
