Abstract

The article reports that Mainstream Engineering Corp., a research and development company focusing on advanced thermal control and energy conversion, has been contracted by the U.S. Air Force to create a Self Sufficient Tent system in a two-year agreement. Mainstream has planned to integrate some features on the tent system, including a multi-fuel low-noise generator, 5-ton environmental control unit and a reverse-osmosis water purification system. The system is expected to provide fast disaster relief and mobile military deployments.
