The US Army is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to advance the state of new composite technologies and design processes to improve the functionality and lifecycle of rigid wall shelters. Using the Joint Warfighter Shelter of the Future as a surrogate to prove out this new technology, the overall goal in Phase II is to advance the development of rigid wall expandable shelters by producing mature prototypes based on initial efforts and testing.
