Advanced modular Shelter kit for the US Army to protect against growing UAV threats

Testing of modular protection against drones

The US Army is developing an advanced set of modular shelters to protect against the growing threat of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). These upgraded modular top-coated protection systems are designed to provide an important and cost-effective level of protection at bases in various locations.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) said it has developed improvements to a family of modular, rapidly deployable defensive structures to enhance their ability to withstand drone attacks.

Currently, USACE is collaborating with Alaska Structures, Inc. to create a prototype modular shelter with improved UAV protection features. The upgraded shelter system will protect personnel, equipment and equipment from various threats, including drone attacks, and provide a safer environment at forward operating bases.
