J Series Shelters are the largest of the DRASH series of shelters. The entire system provides 1,250 square feet (116 sq. m.) of usable interior space for multiple applications ranging from maintenance facilities to technical support facilities to mobile medical treatment and triage centers.
Despite its size, J Series Shelters are easy to set up. The total deployment time for the J from when the shelter leaves the trailer bed to full set up is under 40 minutes, and is achieved with the assistance of a low-pressure air blower and bladder that comes with the J System.
The J is transported on its own 4.5kW Transport and Storage Trailer, which is towable by a vehicle with a towing capacity greater than 6,000 lbs. The manually-tilting trailer allows the shelter to be pushed in place over an inflatable air bladder. Set up and take down is then accomplished using the air blower connected to the bladder. No lifting or assembly is required.
The J Series Shelter can be combined with an HP-8 UST Trailer to allow for a complete power and mobility package that ensures optimum operations even in extreme weather conditions. The J is also offered on a hydraulic container platform to fit on a 463L Pallet.
J Shelters have undergone extensive testing at the Army’s Aberdeen Test Center and include rugged, reliable materials to hold up even under the toughest conditions.
