THERMAL FLY
Each TM- and TXL-series shelter includes a standard thermal fly, featuring a sturdy fabric roof section for providing protective shade to the main canvas below as well as fostering rain- and snow shedding. The mesh sides of the thermal fly promote airflow and convective cooling. Through comprehensive testing, the thermal fly demonstrates an impressive 26% reduction in ECU power demand, translating to decreased logistical support needs (e.g., less frequent refueling).
Uniquely designed to create an engineered air gap around the main canvas, the UTS thermal fly minimizes operators' IR signature within the shelter, surpassing the performance of single-skin shelters.
Beyond its standard system use, operators often employ the thermal fly and frame (without shelter fabric) to establish shaded areas for water bladders, equipment maintenance, or expedient briefings in the field.
Overall, the UTS Thermal Fly plays a pivotal role within the shelter ecosystem, substantially improving overall system performance.
The UTS Thermal Fly is a transformative component that enhances shelter performance in multiple ways:
· Protecting the main canvas
· Improving thermal efficiency
· Enhancing shelter signature management
· Creating a hasty workspace protected from the environment
