Gichner’s NATO ACE
Shelters provide optimum performance under
the most
demanding field conditions. Lightweight,
high strength, insulated and all weather,
this shelter satisfies general purpose
applications for housing communications
and other transportable electronic equipment.
Rugged inside and outside, the NATO ACE
Shelters are equipped to withstand adverse
weather
and terrain, in addition to a high level
of interior traffic.
The NATO ACE Shelters are constructed
of foam and beam sandwich panels which
consist of a polyurethane foam core, aluminum
skins and a framework of high strength
aluminum alloy extrusions. Structural
strength is assured by orientation of
the floor and roof beams in transverse
direction. This “barrel hoop”
construction provides the ability to withstand
drop tests and high roof loads. Foam and
beam panel construction provides high
strength to weight ratios and facilitates
ease of modification, repair, and maintenance.
