Passive Chemical/Biological Protection for Crew Tents(1000-832)

Currently, small crew tents rely on pressurized system for providing chemical/biological protection. Our approach offers a passive liner that will eliminate the need for a bulky and heavy carbon filter/blower system, reducing therefore the overall weight and volume of the current tent. Our passive layer/panel will be breathable (i.e. allow oxygen to enter the tent and allow water vapor, heat and carbon dioxide to exit it), and impermeable to chemical agents. Our proposed tent will not require any power source. During the Phase I Triton demonstrated the feasibility. During the Phase II, Triton will continue material and product development work. Triton will test selected materials to determine their survivability and chemical protection efficiency. Based on the lab results, Triton’s team will downselect the best candidate material for the passive tent, and deliver to the customer full scale prototype for further evaluation.
