ABSTRACT
The design has to meet the requirements of the Ministry of Defence (MOD) Tentage 2000 brief. It must be able to resist extremes of weather, be of significantly less weight than existing designs and be quick and easy to erect and dismantle. It is desirable that the shelter can be carried by not more than 4 men, which sets a weight target of not more than approximately 100kg. It should not rely too heavily on driven pickets. Clear internal dimensions of approximately 10m x 6m x 3m height are required. Other requirements are low radar signature, ease of repair and the minimum number of separate parts.
