Modular Tentage System
Supporting your enduring operation in harsh environments
MTS: innovative, simple, it just works.
The Modular Tentage System (MTS) has earned the trust of armed forces worldwide, performing reliably in combat zones and training environments alike. Engineered for rapid deployment and endurance under military conditions, MTS provides critical accommodation, command, and operational infrastructure wherever needed. NATO forces and allied militaries rely on its robust design to ensure personnel are protected and equipped to perform missions effectively in all climates and theaters of operation.
Flexible, modular architecture tailored to diverse military requirements
MTS is designed to be completely modular and scalable, enabling commanders to configure infrastructure to precise mission requirements. Available in multiple widths and unlimited lengths, shelters can be arranged into command posts, medical stations, or troop accommodations. With NATO codification and standardised interfaces, the system integrates seamlessly into established logistics and deployment frameworks. This ensures flexibility without compromising compatibility, making MTS an ideal solution for diverse operations across multinational forces.
Key Features
High strength, light-weight portable shelters designed for operation in all weather conditions including extreme heat, and cold.
Capable of withstanding strong winds and heavy snow loads.
Large range of standard sizes and options for extended height or custom variants.
Durable tensioned metal frame components with powered coated aluminium or galvanised steel options depending on requirement and environment.
Advanced multilayer fabric covers made from flame retardant, UV stabilised materials, suited to your operating environment.
Simple frame construction which is quick to assemble and takedown and requires no specialized knowledge or tools.
Designed for logistical movements into difficult areas.
All manufactured in our own facilities ensuring the highest quality of delivery.
Rugged lightweight frame engineered for durability and rapid deployment
Built with powder-coated aluminum or galvanized steel arches, MTS delivers maximum strength at minimal weight. Designed to endure desert heat, arctic cold, high winds, and snow loads, it provides a secure environment in extreme operational conditions. Despite its toughness, the system remains easy to transport and deploy, ensuring rapid mobility for forward operations. Military users can rely on MTS to maintain operational readiness regardless of the environment or mission tempo.
Quick assembly reduces logistical burden and supports rapid mobility
MTS was engineered for fast deployment without the need for specialist tools or training. Its simple frame design allows military units to erect or dismantle shelters quickly, minimizing manpower requirements in the field. This rapid assembly capability provides a critical advantage for expeditionary forces where speed and adaptability are mission-essential. By reducing the logistical footprint, MTS frees up resources for combat power, ensuring personnel remain focused on operational effectiveness.
Reliability assured through military standards testing and codification
MTS undergoes rigorous MIL-STD testing and NATO codification to guarantee reliability in the toughest operational environments. These shelters meet or exceed international military standards for durability, safety, and interoperability. Minimal maintenance is required, and if repairs are needed, they can be carried out quickly in the field with limited resources. This rigorous testing and standardization give military planners confidence that MTS will consistently perform in mission-critical deployments across the globe.

Mission-ready systems with options for complete operational capability
More than a shelter, MTS can be configured into a complete operational system. Options include integrated power distribution, tactical lighting, HVAC, rigid flooring, partitions, and secure entry systems. Military-specific modules enable shelters to serve as field hospitals, operations centers, communications hubs, or accommodation blocks. Every system is designed to integrate with military logistics supply chains, ensuring smooth deployment, sustainment, and redeployment. With MTS, forces gain a deployable platform tailored to their mission set.
Scalable solutions supporting operations from squads to brigade headquarters
The strength of MTS lies in its scalability. It can provide a single squad shelter in remote locations or scale up to form brigade-level headquarters. Its adaptability allows it to meet the infrastructure demands of modern militaries, from expeditionary missions to enduring operations. With integrated logistics support packages and a 20-year in-service support model, MTS ensures long-term value and readiness. It remains a cornerstone of military infrastructure solutions for NATO and allied forces.
