A portable shelter with electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection includes a plurality of walls that define an interior space. The walls can be fixed or movable. An EMI protected edge connector joins at least two of the walls together. The EMI protected edge connector assembly can be fixed or hinged. The edge connector can include a metallic outer edge member with two legs and a separate metallic inner edge member with two legs to define an edge channel therebetween with: (i) the first outer leg and the first inner leg are arranged parallel and spaced-apart relative to each other; and (ii) the second outer leg and the second inner leg arranged parallel and spaced-apart relative to each other. The shelter walls can include an inner surface covered by a metallic foil inner layer. A first wall panel is received in a first portion of the edge channel with its metallic foil inner layer contacting the inner edge member and a second wall panel is received in a second portion of the edge channel with it metallic foil inner layer contacting the inner edge member.

Mission configurable shelter with electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection

An expandable wall shelter includes a body and a movable wall section connected to the body and movable between a retracted position and an extended position along a linear path. At least one linkage assembly is operably connected between the body and the movable wall section for operably and movably supporting the movable wall section relative to the body for movement of the movable wall section to and between its retracted and extended positions. The at least one linkage assembly includes: (i) an inner link including opposite inner and outer ends; and (ii) an outer link including opposite inner and outer ends, wherein: the inner end of the inner link is pivotally connected to the body; the said outer end of the outer link is pivotally connected to the movable wall section; and, the outer end of the inner link is pivotally connected to the inner end of the outer link. A linkage assembly for such a movable wall section is also provided.

Expandable wall shelter

A shelter with electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection includes first and second wall panels including EMI protection. The panels are connected by at least one of: (i) a hinged connection; (ii) a scissor joint connection. The hinged connection includes an EMI protected hinge that extends between the first and second panels and includes a first hinge leaf, a second hinge leaf, and a hinge joint. A flexible EMI protection covering extends across the hinge joint. The scissor joint connection includes a first hook connected to the first panel and a second hook connected to the second panel and an EMI gasket is located in an open channel of the first hook. Part of the first hook is received in a second open channel of the second hook and part of the second hook is received in the first open channel of the first hook and the gasket is compressed.

Shelter with electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection and components for same

A lightweight transportable containerized shelter includes wall panels made of a non-metal composite material coated at least on its inner face with a metal layer for EMI protection. The several wall panels are secured to a metal structural frame without the use of fasteners so as to define a containerized transportable shelter. The shelter meets ISO standards 668 and 1496. The shelter provides a continuous barrier to electromagnetic signals. Moreover, the containerized shelter is amenable to nine high stacking as required for ISO certification.
