Our environment is an increasingly dangerous one with security threats constantly posing a threat to our peace of mind and stability. The need for a mobile NBC shelter rather than the accepted static, permanent NBC shelter is becoming increasingly necessary for a wide variety of organizations.
The mobile NBC shelter for military units
Today's modern military is a highly mobile and technologically advanced force. The need for an NBC shelter to provide logistical support for units in the field is vital. Such an NBC shelter need not be mobile because modern technology allows for logistical and command support for units many thousands of kilometers from home base. But why a mobile NBC shelter? The mobile NBC shelter is not necessarily for logistical support, but to provide troops and vital front line unit's protection from NBC devices and so allowing them to continue their function in otherwise unsustainable conditions. There are a number of scenarios where a mobile NBC shelter could be needed, for example a unit based in a hostile area coming under biological or chemical attack, if a mobile NBC shelter is available have a place to shelter until the danger is over or action taken against the enemy.
Mobile NBC shelter for internal security forces
Police and internal security forces also face a growing threat from terrorists with the will and the means to cause destruction of property and cause extensive loss of life through the use of nuclear, chemical or biological agents. A mobile NBC shelter for security forces in a contaminated area or one where contamination is suspected could be the tool needed to allow them to function to clean up the situation. Let's examine a hypothetical but very real situation based, in part, on fact. A couple of years ago, a group of terrorists unleashed a coordinated terror raid in London. Bombs were exploded on the subway and on busses. That's the fact. Now let's assume that the attack was larger and included suitcase nuclear weapons or biological and/or chemical agents designed to kill and spread contagion over a wide area. Without the use of a mobile NBC shelter security forces would be severely restricted in the scope of their activity and containing the situation would be exceedingly difficult. The mobile NBC shelter allows forces to have a base of operation, safe from contamination that allows personnel access to supplies and essential services without leaving the area. The mobile NBC shelter allows personnel working in a contaminated zone the possibility of a break without having to evacuate from the area – thus making their work faster, safer and more efficient. An increasing number of companies provide mobile NBC shelter design and construction services. Some of the better companies, base their design and construction techniques on the combat experience of their designers – that's why, for example, a mobile NBC shelter from an Israeli company will ensure you quality and protection.
