US Army and Navy labs improved a rapidly deployable TRICON-based rigid-wall shelter system (toilets/laundry/showers) with thermal wrapping and insulation so vulnerable components (hoses, valves, bladders, pumps) remain operational in extreme cold. Testing indicates operation down to -65°F, extending base-camp sustainment and operational footprint in Arctic environments.
