Losberger RDSoffers global solutions, from an initialdesign proposal, to supply, installation andmaintenance. Most of our products have aNATO stock number.

Fast DeployableShelters (AMD)

The ultra-fast deployable AMD shelters are

designed primarily to serve as maintenanceshops, but perform equally well as meetingrooms or reception and conference areas.The AMD is packed on a trailer, a containerplatform or semi-trailer with a hydraulicself-erecting system.

The covered floor space is 60m², 120m²,250m² or 340m², depending on the model.Assembling an AMD is ultra-fast: forinstance, the AMD 60 is deployed in lessthan 10 minutes by just one person.

Modular ShelterSystems (P16)

Modular shelters are primarily used as dryair storage, maintenance halls or serve asgarages. Permanently or semi-permanentlyinstalled, they are anchored to a flatplatform. They may also be installed andweighted down by steel/concrete blocksor water tanks.

Complete waterproofness makes itpossible to control the interior humidity ofthe shelter. Access is made possiblethrough 1 or 2 fully opening gable ends orvia roll-up doors (4.50 m x 4.50 m).These shelters can be transported in 20’containers or on aircraft pallets.

The speed and ease of deploymentmake the TAG NG ideal as medical posts,command centers and emergency sheltersfor example. Its weatherproof and robustconstruction, along with a set ofaccessories, ensures the TAG NG's efficientuse on any type of terrain and climaticcondition. All tents can be carried by handto the place of use. One or two personsusing an electric inflator install theinflatable TAG NG tent in less than 5minutes. Thanks to their modular design,the tents can be connected to each otherin any direction (gable doors and sidedoors). The tent is made of durable fire andUV resistant PVC coated polyester fabric,using HF welding to construct the coverand floor into one enclosure.

MobileHospital/FieldHospital (Field

Hospital TAG NG)A first field hospital has been supplied tothe Italian Red Cross of Lombardy in 2002.This hospital was configured out of tentsranging in size from 40 to 100 m², incompliance with the requirements of theItalian Ministry of Defense. The advantageswere, above all, rapid deployment andmodularity. A 42 m² tent can be erected byjust 2 people in 3 to 5 minutes. Themodularity of the structures allowed asuitable layout of the field wards andoperation theatres depending on thecircumstances of the location. Thehospital has been used since for severalmissions and emergencies (Larino, Iraq, SriLanka). The cooperation with personnel ofthe Italian Red Cross of Lombardy wholived and worked in the structure wascrucial for perfecting the product. Based

on the feedback from the various fieldmissions, the R&D and design departmenthas focused all efforts on improving thetents on numerous details. The result ofthe cooperation with the Red Cross is theNew 2007 Field Hospital. The next-generation pneumatic structures areperfect in modularity, durability and easeof maintenance. We supply inflatable field

hospitals, whether or not in combinationwith (expendable) container for the OT,ICU and ablution for example, from a 2-bed medical post to a 150-bed and fullyequipped turnkey solution.

chemical elements that constitute thesechemicals. It is therefore possible to detectimpure agents or chemicals manufacturedby terrorists that would not fit intotraditional libraries of other detectors.Moreover AP4C will detect withoutupgrade new agents that will be developedin the future, as well as still not preciselyknown agents like Novichok agents (orNon Traditional agents).

The response time is among the shorteston the market, but what makes the AP4Cunique is the recovery time after a positivedetection.

The AP4C is therefore the chemicaldetector that has the highest level ofavailability of the field.

Grateful to its remarkable performances,AP4C has been derived on other detectors,dedicated to the following uses:

• use on reconnaissance vehicles and battle tanks

• use aboard naval ships• use for critical buildings and

AP4C-V For use on

Proengin

LEADING BIOLOGICALAND CHEMICAL WARFARE AGENTSFIELD DETECTORS Proengin has developed biological andchemical warfare agents field detectorsusing flame spectrophotometry. The well-known and world widely used AP2C hasproven the capacity of that technology tobe the most reliable on the field with thelowest false alarm rate and the simplestease of use.

Chemical DetectionThe New Extended

Range Field HandheldChemical Detector

AP4C

New developments such as the AP4C haveextended the capacity of that technologyto include chemical warfare agents andtoxic industrial material in a simultaneousmode. There is no limitation in number ofgas detected by the AP4C. All nerve agents,all blister agents and all blood agents canbe detected by AP4C within therequirements of response time andsensitivity of NATO recommendations.The AP4C has extended the range ofchemicals that can be detected byProengin chemical detectors. Alldangerous compounds containing Sulfur,

Phosphorous, Arsenic and/or HNOchemical bond can be detected in asimultaneous way. Of course, as for theAP2C, the AP4C has the capacity to workin very severe environmental conditions(explosive areas) and the measurementsare unaffected by high humidity levels orby the presence of other organic chemicalcompounds such as paint.

The AP4C technology allows thesimultaneous detection of an unlimitednumber of gas and the identification of the

ReconnaissanceVehicles and Battle

Tanks

Based on the same detection technologyand the same internal design, air entrancehas been designed to face high wind:AP4C-V is able to take in representativesample of the outside air, even with adirect cumulated wind and speed of 100km/h. Data are shown on easy tounderstand control box or directly on thecontrol computer of the vehicle.

Sensitivity, short time to answer, low falsealarm rate and short recovery time are thesame as for AP4C, making AP4C-V theperfect detector for all kinds ofreconnaissance missions and battle fieldexploration.

AP4C-F For useAboard Naval Ships

At sea, ANEP-57 recommendationsstipulate the availability of both fixed andmobile means of chemical detection. AsAP4C is the perfect mobile chemicaldetector for contamination control, theuse of AP4C-F provides the naval shipswith reliable and efficient chemicaldetection. This ruggedized detector showsthe same detection performances as the

natural background.

The very liable MAB has been designed tobe mounted on track vehicles. It isinsensitive to diesel exhausts.As all Proengin products and thanks to theflame spectrophotometry technology,MAB is running in very severe outsideconditions, shows the lowest false alarmrates (negative and positive) and requiresreduced maintenance. It shows such a highlevel of availability.

WHEN DEFENCE IS SOCRUCIAL THAT LIVES DEPENDON IT, QUALITY ENGINEERINGBECOMES PARAMOUNT.

Octagon Defence Systems Protective Military Wall

Defence Structures

When defence is so crucial that livesdepend on it, quality engineering becomesparamount. You must insist on a premiumproduct that provides not only a durablesolution, but one that is able to withstandwhatever it is subjected to. With a passionfor innovative ideas, the engineers atOctagon Defence have designed a seriesof defence blocks that protect militarypersonnel and civilians against some of theharshest conditions on the planet.

The Octagon Defence Structure, wheninterlocked, provides a protective wall orshelter which can be deployed duringmilitary and humanitarian operations. Thedefence blocks come in 3 different grades:The BDS1 for ballistic impact reduction,The FDS 2 for flood impact and the EDS3for protection against the elements. EachBlock is manufactured differently toensure it withstands what it is beingsubjected to.

Ballistic DefenceSystem Blocks - BDS 1

Due to the binding process whenproducing the BDS1 (ballistic defencesystem), the finished block has an elasticitywhich removes the sting of a bulletwithout chipping. This makes it extremelysuitable for live fire situations. The Block’s

primary advantage, over other forceprotection, is its ability to be usedcountless times. Made from nonebiodegradable material the blocks will faroutlast any other ballistic defencestructure on the market today. The Blockscan be joined together either single ordouble skinned, providing an impenetrablewall which can be tailored to specificthreats. Production of the blocks is led bya team of experienced engineers andinnovators who work closely together toensure you get the very finest qualityproduct for the job in hand.

BDS 1 Defence BlocksBDS1 Defence Blocks are made with aunique polymer binder which has beenbuffed 100% the blocks have moreelasticity than other ballistic blocks on themarket today which means addedlongevity. They also have a uniquepatented interlocking system avoiding theuse of messy glues to hold them in place.This means the rapid construction of aneffective defensive wall with minimalmanpower and resources is now possible.

We know that live ranges require unrivalledexpertise together with a durable product.Whether it is live fire or simulation shoothouses, most situations require a product

over 12" thick of bound rubber toencapsulate a live bullet. At the end of theproduct's shelf-life a range is often facedwith the cost of disposing of any bullet -impregnated items and this can be costly.With this in mind, the BDS 1 block isdesigned for easy removal, allowingspecific areas to be targeted and renewed.At the end of the blocks life, Octagontakes them back and puts them through arecycling process where they are turnedinto new ones. For further technical details please see the individual BDS1Specification Sheet.

Military FloodDefence System

The geographical scope of floods and thephysical and economic issues connectedwith them are difficult to predict. What iscertain is that the damage they cause is ona vast scale, and there are no signs of thischanging. The human effect can bedevastating.

Not only are electricity, water supply andcommunications affected, but lives can be lost.

systems. The correct and timelydeployment of a substantial defencesystem is crucial if properties and lives areto be saved in the future.

The Octagon Flood Defence Systemcreates a substantial wall that can bedeployed with less manpower thanconventional sand bags, and at a fractionof the cost of plastic barriers on themarket today. A flood defence wall isprimarily a vertical artificial barrierdesigned to temporarily contain the watersof a river or waterway which may rise tounusual levels during seasonal or extremeweather events.

Flood walls are mainly used where spaceis scarce, such as where building levees ordikes would interfere with existingbuildings or commercial exploitation ofembankments. This makes the FDS 2 (FloodDefence System) a suitable solutionbecause it can be stacked close by,deployed quickly and efficiently, and isvirtually indestructible.

FDS 2 Flood DefenceSystem Blocks

The FDS 2 flood blocks have a polymer mixwhich makes them denser than water,providing a perfect solution for most floodsituations. The blocks focus aroundproviding commercially driven solutions to

flood problems in tidal, pluvial andcombined flooding scenarios. This helpsto: optimise risk management andinvestment strategies in urbanised, farmingand commercial areas at risk; workalongside outside agencies to understandthe frequency, magnitude and potential offlooding sites; strategically place FDS 2blocks, reducing the risk of loss oftenexperienced during flooding.

For further technical details please see theindividual FDS 2 Specification Sheet.You can also view the FDS 2 Flood DefenceSystem Blocks in action here on YouTube.

Military DefenceShelter

The cleverly engineered EDS 3 DefenceBlocks are manufactured much lighter thantheir brother and sister. They areessentially a building block without thesame advanced polymer engineering. Theirinterlocking system allows the rapid

construction of an effective defensive wallwith minimal manpower and resourcesrequired. Deployment is easier and quickerdue to the blocks being slightly lighter inweight. Using the correct handlingequipment the blocks can be stacked onand off of combat vehicles quickly andefficiently. This makes them suitable forwar zones and humanitarian shelters alike.Our Promise to you:

Survivability in High-IntensityCounter InsurgencyOperations Enduring Lessonsfrom the UK ExperienceFor the UK forces, operations in Iraq andAfghanistan have brought home theimportance of physical protection to thosedeployed. Preparation for the wrong war,training for conventional tactics, a highlyinnovative enemy, lack of experience in highintensity counter-insurgency and thecumulative impact of squeezed funding onthe land programme conspired to expose thefrailties of the British Army's armouredvehicles and individual protectionequipment.

Since 2005 there has been an incredibledeployment of new capability which hassignificantly enhanced the survivability of UKforces and saved the lives of many soldiersas a result. Delivery of this capability hasseen great advancement in armourtechnology and the design of armouredvehicles. Whilst technology will continue toadvance, there are some enduring lessonswhich are relevant to all armies faced withthe counter-insurgency challenge.

The Threat is Omni–Present The well rehearsed principles described inthe Survivability Onion remain true whateverthe context but the nature of counterinsurgency and the specifics of the mission,threat, terrain and enemy tactics in particularmean that they must be applied in a verydifferent way. Soldiers and security forcesmust operate amongst the population inwhich the enemy resides and so not beingseen is often impossible and not beingacquired or hit is a real challenge. Capabilityplanners must therefore think carefully fromfirst principles and take sound advice before

specifying requirements. Conventionalarmoured vehicles designed for symmetricwarfare are typically protected most heavilyin the frontal (Whittaker) arc but in counter-insurgency, the threat is omni-present andthe enemy is free to attack from the sidesand under-belly as well.

The principles of the Survivability Onion aresound but must be applied differently.

Understanding the ThreatOn counter-insurgency operations the threatis real and understanding it is foremost indetermining the right approach tosurvivability. This sounds obvious butplatforms procured in peacetime benefitfrom capability trades based on theory andassumption and are tested only against thesystem specification document. However, ifthe specification is not appropriate for theoperational deployment then even the mostsophisticated platforms can be overmatchedby a relatively unsophisticated threat. Forthe UK, the roadside bombs in Iraq and theburied IEDs in Afghanistan have consignedconventional armoured fighting vehicles tothe tank park and resulted in theprocurement of over 2,000 new protectedmobility platforms.

Response to the Evolving ThreatCounter-Insurgency operations are generallyprotracted affairs and this gives the enemytime to evolve his weapons and tactics. Theforce must be capable of adapting too andthis includes its approach to survivability, itsvehicles, their protection systems and theirconcept of employment. Emerging threats

usually result in the addition of armour andelectronic systems and hence adaptationrequires platforms that can accommodatethem. Notwithstanding any fundamentaldesign constraint or flaw, the capacity todeliver this capability growth is determinedby weight budgets and power (bothautomotive and electrical). The mostsuccessful platforms have had both inabundance and this should be noted for allfuture procurements. It is too easy to makeover-detailed specifications which forceengineers to design to technical limits – theresult is that the platform becomesredundant with the first change incircumstance. Both Mastiff and Jackal weredesigned with plenty of headroom which isa very significant factor in their currentsuccess, and this will serve them and theBritish Army well in the coming years.

One Size does not fit AllWhilst Mastiff and Jackal have both beensuccessful, they offer very differentcapabilities. At 25 tonnes plus, Mastiff is aheavily protected troop carrier which excelsin transporting soldiers in areas of the highestthreat and despite several hundred IEDstrikes, the survivability record of both thevehicles and the soldiers within has beenoutstanding. Jackal on the other hand (at 6.6tonnes) carries far less armour but its class-leading cross-country mobility and terrainaccessibility mean that soldiers have beenable to avoid the threat.

Effective Requirement TradesIt is clear from a cursory glance that Jackaland Mastiff are very different and those witheven a limited knowledge of military vehicledesign will understand that it is not possibleto build a vehicle that has the mobility andsize of a Jackal and the protection of aMastiff. This is a stark example but itillustrates a very important point – that thereis no sense striving to procure that which istechnically unfeasible. But this is a trap thatall too often leads to the failure of long termplanned procurement programmes. The lackof clear mission or threat definition, thepromise of technical advancement, thedesire to simplify support arrangements andthe ability to trade theoretical requirementscan allow bureaucratic process andoverindulgence in technical analysis todefeat the case for common sense. For theUK, the operational imperatives of Iraq andAfghanistan have allowed pragmatism toprevail and whilst the complex mix ofvariants in the UK fleet is untidy, it hasdelivered the capability necessary for themost demanding operations.

Technical Expertise in GovernmentThe rapid procurement of new armouredvehicles and protection systems was enabledby a small team in government. Capabilitymanagers worked closely with survivabilityexperts in the Defence Science andTechnology Laboratories (DSTL),procurement staff, the user and industry. Theexperience and multi-disciplined expertise inDSTL was of paramount importance and theadvice provided ensured that the debate wasshort and focussed solely on that whichmattered. As a result, timely and effectivedecisions were made as soon as the best (ormost pragmatic) course of action wasidentified. The sort of knowledge thatresides in an organisation like DSTL can onlybe amassed in a government and that iswhere it should remain. Any nation that isserious about survivability of its armed forcesshould invest in a similar governmentorganisation and listen to those who knowbest.

Close Cooperation between Governmentand IndustryWith close cooperation between capabilitymanagers, government experts, procurementstaff and industry, it is possible to move atgreat pace and deliver highly effectiveresults. Sadly, it has been enemy action thathas provided the impetus for this to happen

in the UK. The challenge for any government(including the UK) is to achieve the rightworking relationships all of the time and notjust during the heat of conflict. Clearly thepolitical drivers are different duringpeacetime but with effective capabilitymanagement and collective endeavour it isstill possible to undertake effectiveprocurement action. And all stakeholderswould do well to remind themselves that theresults of their action will be fully testedwhen soldiers next deploy in harm’s way.

Importance of Individual ProtectionFor the deployed soldier (and his family athome), his individual protection equipment(combat helmet and body armour) is of hugeimportance when he is faced daily with a realthreat from small arms, blast and fragment.The British Army was caught flat-footedwhen it deployed to Iraq and subsequentlyto Afghanistan. To their credit, the UKgovernment and industry moved at pace torectify the situation developing and fieldinghighly effective new solutions inunprecedented time-scales. Thankfully, themindset has changed and this equipment isnow given the most serious consideration at

all levels and every soldier is properly

equipped. During peacetime training it is

easy to gloss over this aspect of force

protection but any army which is serious

about operating in a high threat environment

must make provision to equip itself and train

for the realities of the task.

Conclusion

UK Forces have experienced counter-

insurgency operations in two highly

demanding theatres and faced a significant

array of the most lethal threats. Many

soldiers have lost their lives but many more

have been saved through a concerted effort

to rapidly field the right equipment for the

task. Not every theatre will be like Iraq and

Afghanistan but the lessons that they have

highlighted will be relevant all the same. Any

army which is faced with the challenge of

counter-insurgency operations should seek

to learn these lessons and invest in the right

capabilities before they are required to

deploy.

DHS’ command operations center compriseda DRASH MX Shelter and a 2XB Shelter. TheMX Shelter offers 442 square feet of useablearea and is most recognized as part of theTrailer Mounted Support System (TMSS) forthe Army’s Standard Integrated CommandPost System (SICPS). The 195 square foot 2XBshelter can stand-alone or connect to othershelters, and is known for establishingcommand and control, life support, medicalor surge facilities anywhere quickly andefficiently. An integral part of the commandoperations center was the DC2E equipment.DC2E demonstrated how a lightweight,portable communications integration systemsimplifies information management by fusingmultiple feeds of information onto a singledisplay.

DHS’ participation in Marine West is directly

related to its association with the Marine

Corps. In describing this relationship Eddie

Hughes, Director of Field Operations

commented, “The U.S. Marines Corps have a

history of turning to DHS for reliable and

battlefield proven solutions to help them

conduct numerous operations around the

world. Marine West is another platform for

DHS to demonstrate how our products are

designed to improve their missions.”

DRASH Shelter Systems have been used

extensively by Marines Corps personnel,

including the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit

(13 MEU), 3rd Intelligence Battalion (3 INTEL)

and Marine Aircraft Group 31 (MAG 31) to

support numerous missions across the globe.
