The United States Air Force (USAF) has chosen RadiantGUARD Xtreme® as a key component in an energy-efficient modular shelter system for the Department of Defense(DOD).
After extensive testing and real-world evaluations, the USAF awarded a 10-year contract in November 2022. This selection underscores the effectiveness of radiant barrier technology in improving thermal insulation, particularly in extreme environments.
Rigorous Testing and Selection Process
The USAF evaluated multiple thermal barrier options before selecting RadiantGUARD Xtreme. Over a year of testing and practical applications demonstrated the product's ability to enhance thermal performance.
One critical phase of testing took place at the McKinley Climatic Laboratory (MCL) at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. These evaluations confirmed that the RadiantGUARD Xtreme thermal liner significantly improved heat resistance, particularly in high-temperature conditions. The results played a decisive role in its selection for their portable military shelters.
Benefits for Military Deployments
Military operations require adaptable and efficient shelter solutions. The USAF modular shelter systems featuring RadiantGUARD Xtreme offer several advantages.
First, these military tents provide enhanced thermal insulation, reducing the need for excessive heating or cooling. This efficiency translates into lower energy consumption, which is crucial for remote deployments where power resources are limited.
Second, the improved insulation contributes to personnel comfort. In extreme climates, maintaining a stable indoor temperature allows service members to focus on their duties without the distraction of harsh environmental conditions.
Long-Term Impact and Commitment to Quality
