DHS Systems - DRASH Quick-Erect Rugged Shelters

DRASH, manufactured by DHS Systems, is an acronym for Deployable Rapid Assembly Shelter. DRASH is the most respected and reliable quick-erect / strike tactical shelter system available. For more than 20 years, DRASH has proven itself again and again as the shelter of choice for all branches of the US military, numerous federal agencies and NATO forces.

DRASH QUICK-ERECT / STRIKE RUGGED SHELTERS

DRASH is the most technologically advanced shelter available, incorporating multiple patents with a composite frame structure fabricated from Titanite®. Titanite is three times stronger than aluminium for the same weight and cross section. DRASH also features a pre-attached two cover design. This allows the user to quickly deploy the shelter without attaching or detaching the covers before or after deployment.

GENERATORS AND TACTICAL TRAILERS FOR DRASH SHELTERS

There are six different series of shelters with 45 models of varying widths and lengths. All shelters are inter-connectable, allowing for effective complexing for joint operations. A family of high-mobility tactical trailers with multiple variants supports the shelters as total systems. These trailers offer mobile electric power, environmental control and transportation for the shelters.

The generators meet the Tactically Quiet Generator (TQG) noise requirement and have been certified for transport on C-130, C-5A, C-17 and C-141 aircraft. As with the shelters, DRASH trailers have been tested by Aberdeen Test Centre.

TOTAL SHELTER, UTILITY AND TACTICAL MOBILITY SOLUTIONS FOR THE MILITARY

DRASH is internationally recognised as an exceptional integration of shelter, utilities and tactical mobility. Combined together, DRASH provides a total solution and complete infrastructure when deployed in the field, providing shelter, power, lighting, heat, cooling and power distribution. More than 12,000 shelters are now in use by the US military and NATO, along with nearly 3,500 trailer systems.
