Shelters For Defence Applications
- Various types of shelters are required for different purposes by Armed Forces around the world.
- The types of shelters deployed depend on the specific needs of the formations/units concerned, both in war and peace.
- Shelters are bespoke products, and within the defined constraints, any type of shelter can be manufactured, using a variety of materials.
- Shelters can be built with a variety of need-based features, including combinations thereof. A degree of bullet proofing can be done, with a weight penalty.
- Many military formations and units operate with locally improvised facilities or temporary structures, leading to inefficiency and fatigue among personnel. Such elements, both in the field formations and rear areas, could operate from customised shelters that would enhance their operational efficiency, preserve expensive equipment and conserve their energy.
- To this end, Svarn has conceived an array of shelters which can be used by the Military in all types of terrain, temperatures and operational conditions.

Svarn multi-purpose expandable shelter
- Our container based multi-purpose expandable shelter is dismounted from the vehicle and then deployed.
- It is built to maximize energy efficiency and provide ultimate flexibility in configuration, transportation, and deployment.
- The unique Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) construction and thermal insulation with PIR (POLYISOCYANURATE) make us one of the industry leaders in the shelter manufacturing process.
- We comply with MIL Standards, which ensures comfortable and efficient living and working at all types of locations, including high altitudes, thereby enhancing operational efficiency.
- The container has a lightweight aluminum or MS inner frame, floor and ceiling that support the SIPs. The panels are monolithic up to a size of 8m x 3m, thereby making the shelter leak-proof. The shelter has a skid base for dragging it wherever required.
- The unfolding/expandable portions of the shelter feature a floor, gas spring and winch-assisted ceiling, floor panels, and three walls. The ceiling, floor, and walls can also be moved and positioned electro-hydraulically. The floor is supported on suitable blocks.
- After off-loading from the vehicle, the entire shelter structure can be erected in 5 to 10 minutes by two personnel.
The internal setting up time will depend on the application.
The Multi-purpose Expandable Shelter offers various features, including:
- It is intermodal (air, road, rail, and sea transportable).
- Almost three times the space available in a fixed,
non-expanding shelter. - Customisation to meet any specialised requirement, including command posts, billeting, MI room, operation theatre, kitchen, dining room, administration, and more.
- Separate technical and other compartments with heating, ventilation, air conditioning, power supply, and air filtration for different types of work. The inner compartment can be sealed for EMI/EMC and NBCW.
- Hydraulic jack system for lifting and lowering the container using universal coupler of prime mover.
- All types of painting to suit the terrain, including camouflage painting.
Svarn Expandable Command Post Shelter
- This is a specialized shelter designed and manufactured by Svarn for operation off the wheels. It is eminently suitable for use as an operations room or command post at various levels.
- In order to create extra space (volume) within the command post for seating of necessary personnel and storage of essential materials, the two sides of the container expand outwards, either electro-hydraulically or electro-mechanically, to the desired extent, depending upon the vehicle used.
- The advantage of this shelter is that the deployment time is substantially reduced, while it provides a commodious working environment.
- This shelter can be provided with all the features that Svarn builds into its other shelters.
