MIL-PRF-32504, PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION: MODULAR LARGE AREA MAINTENANCE SHELTER (MLAMS) TYPES: AVIATION (A), VEHICLE (V), STORAGE (S) (30-SEP-2014)

MIL-PRF-32504, PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION: MODULAR LARGE AREA MAINTENANCE SHELTER (MLAMS) TYPES: AVIATION (A), VEHICLE (V), STORAGE (S) (30-SEP-2014)., his performance specification identifies the minimum functional capabilities required for the overall system and the key subsystems. The Modular Large Area Maintenance Shelter (MLAMS) types Aviation (A), Vehicle (V) and Storage (S), are intended for military use as tactical field maintenance facilities for field repair and maintenance of Army helicopters (Type A), some fixed wing aircraft (Type A), ground vehicles (Type V) and general storage (Type S) respectively. The Modular Large Area Maintenance Shelter- Type Aviation (A) is intended to be a portable facility of modular construction to support Army rotary and fixed wind aircraft maintenance in forward operational areas without fixed facilities. The MLAMS-A is needed by all aviation maintenance units and is intended to be capable of sheltering the following aircraft: UH-60, CH47-D, AH-64, OH- 58D, MH-60K, MH-47E, C-12 and RC-12 aircraft in operational configuration. Maintenance activities during deployments frequently require personnel to perform highly technical/accurate repairs in adverse climatic conditions and under blackout conditions. The MLAMS components are considered to be as a minimum: the structural members, weather barrier fabric, erection kit, electrical system and lighting, ventilators, the installation and operator’s manual, shelter anchoring system for earth and concrete and the shipping containers. The MLAMS is required to withstand human factors and environmental considerations as described in this document.
