Military shelter systems and other products from Alaska Defense™ fulfill requirements to support a wide range of short- to long-term military operations. Popular uses of our military shelter systems include:

  • Turnkey base camps
  • Tactical operations centers
  • Maintenance and repair facilities
  • Mobile field hospitals
  • Radar enclosures

Military shelter systems from Alaska Defense™ are superior to other military tents and containerized solutions. We offer plug-and-play power generation and distribution systems, energy-efficient lighting systems, HVAC, and energy-saving insulation systems to meet any operational or environmental challenge. No other military shelter supplier comes close to matching the number of military shelter systems provided by Alaska Defense™ or our experience and expertise.

Military Shelter Systems

Engineered to withstand the extreme environments of military operations around the world, military shelter systems from Alaska Defense™ (Alaska) provide a higher level of comfort, safety, and reliability. “Alaska Shelters” as they are commonly called are available from 8’ wide to 150’ wide, and to any length. Each military shelter system is designed to serve 10+ years in the field, 20+ years on the shelf, and support 100+ setup and strike cycles without failure. No other military shelter system comes close to the rugged durability or proven experience of Alaska Defense.

Our turnkey base camps can be deployed with all the structures necessary to support military troop accommodations and operations. Base camps can include Alaska 16’ or 20’ wide Shelter Systems for billeting troops, the Alaska ECU® for effective environmental control, shower/latrine facilities, laundry systems, storage containers, and power generation/distribution centers. These turnkey base camp systems allow for rapid deployment of a fully-operational military camp in rugged or undeveloped locations.

Maintenance Facilities

Most military camps will require maintenance facilities to protect vehicles and equipment, store supplies and resources, or support camp operations. Our 30-foot and 40-foot wide shelters are ideal for multipurpose use at mid-to-long-term encampments, while our larger buildings can be made up to 150-feet wide for larger facilities requirements. Alaska Aircraft Hangars are designed to store and allow easy access for airplanes and helicopters, and our TUAV Shelters are optimal command and control facilities for UAV military operations.

The design and engineering of military shelter systems by Alaska Defense™ are adapted specifically for remote military expeditions. The Alaska XP Shelter System™ utilizes a revolutionary design that is easily transported, and can be rapidly deployed in as little as 10 minutes. Advance ground troops to remote locations with shelter, power, and an environmental control unit using our Alaska Xterra® Shelter System, or support high-altitude combat missions with the specially designed Alaska High Altitude Shelter Systems™.

All military installations, from permanent bases to short-term camps, require medical shelters and treatment facilities for combat health and support. Our medical facilities support all kinds of levels of care, from ward beds and pharmaceutical operations, to intensive care and negative pressure isolation centers. The Alaska Medical Shelter System offers rapid deployment of health support systems that meet three out of five echelon medical care levels. Our medical facilities provide the modular, scalable design that is necessary for mobile field hospitals, military shelters with negative pressure isolation systems for COVID-19, and more.

With rapid setup and strike capabilities, Tactical Operations Centers by Alaska Defense™ can quickly be scaled to provide command and control (C2) or situational awareness functionalities for company, battalion, brigade, to division-sized task forces. 4-way hubs allow military shelter systems to be complexed. Alaska Tactical Operations Centers can be equipped with a wide assortment of support systems: power generation and distribution, environmental control, lighting systems, as well as furniture packages to create facilities for effective command and control.

Alaska Defense™ now produces a range of containerized hygiene facilities. Designed from the ground up, our 20′ long, 8′ wide, and 8′ high containers are engineered to meet rugged site conditions, endure repeated short and long-term deployments, and withstand the rigors of daily soldier use. Containerized hygiene facilities from Alaska Defense are a premium hygiene solution for providing troops with private shower and toilet facilities.

Military trailers from Alaska Defense™ allow for the rapid deployment of ground forces and equipment to remote locations. Towable by HMMWV or LMTV, our tactical trailers are designed for secondary and unimproved roads, have been extensively tested, and meet the Military Transport Management Command (MTMC) criteria. We offer many types of military trailers, including heavy-duty tactical trailers, tactical flatdeck trailers, and military trailers with built-in power generation and HVAC.

Available in many different sizes and models, the Alaska ECU® seamlessly integrates with any of our military shelter systems to provide troops in expeditionary environments as well as mid- to long-term deployments an unmatched level of comfort. Alaska ECU® and HVAC systems are designed for quiet operation and can be trailer mounted, skid mounted, or equipped with heavy-duty tires.

Energy Saving Products

All Alaska Defense™ products are designed for optimal energy efficiency. However, additional energy-saving products are available to further reduce consumption. Alaska EnerLayer® is our proprietary supplemental insulation system, and the Alaska Solar Fly® is made from proprietary solar shade material — both have been tested and proven to significantly reduce energy and power consumption. Our Portable Light Tower offers unmatched energy efficiency in light output for military-grade, portable lighting in remote areas.

Radar Enclosures

Protect high-tech and expensive radar equipment with SkyDome™ Radar Enclosures from Alaska Defense™. Our retractable radar enclosures feature a high-strength metal frame system that completely opens, allowing sensitive radar equipment to operate without any interference. Able to fully open or close in 2.5 minutes, our radar enclosures quickly conceal radar equipment and provide a safe storage solution from adverse weather, including high winds, heavy snow, ice, and windblown debris. Our radar enclosures are a superior choice to air-inflated radar shelters.

Power Systems

Alaska power generation and power distribution systems provide an unmatched level of versatility and scalability. Our power systems are available from 20kW to 320kW and are designed for durability and reliability in extreme weather, offer quiet operation, and feature built-in fuel tanks or can be fueled using bladders for extended run times. A single power distribution system and generator can supply enough power for up to 18 of our military shelters. Our power systems meet US National Electric code, International Electric code, and are compatible with 50 and 60 HZ voltage systems.

Shelter Options

Alaska Defense™ manufactures many shelter add-ons and systems to increase comfort and energy efficiency. Our optional products are designed to seamlessly integrate with any of our military shelter systems. We take the same approach to engineer high-quality shelter components that offer an unmatched level of portability, ease of use, and match the long-lasting durability of our high-performance shelter systems. Choose from a large selection of wall and partition systems, modular flooring solutions, re-usable containers, and furniture packages.

Light Towers

High light output, built-in power generation, and portability combine to create self-contained portable LED light towers from Alaska Defense™. Available in a 1,000- or 3,000-Watt configuration, our portable light towers can be set up in minutes and provide a greater level of energy efficiency compared to typical halogen or metal halide lights. Telescoping masts with 360˚ adjustable, high-lumen LED lights are an excellent solution for supporting nighttime military operations, increasing productivity, and ensuring safety.

Emergency Shelters For Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR)

Emergency shelters from Alaska Defense™ (Alaska) are military-grade structures. These are not the typical “disaster relief tent” – a glorified dome camping tent or party tents marketed as emergency shelters for disaster response. Our rapidly deployable shelter systems are designed and proudly manufactured in the United States, using the same high-quality materials and attention to detail, and feature the same ruggedly durable designs as our extensive range of military shelter systems.
