Presented herein is a transportable, distributed, edge-based, cloud-centered broadband command, control and communications infrastructure with built-in resilience that can be employed in data collection and integration, intelligence processing, mission planning, cognitive decision support and operational command, control and communications system. Specifically, a Modular Mission Systems (MIMS), composed of Modular Load Units (MLU), and tactical communications gateways integrated onto air platforms of opportunity in podded configurations (PODS) that can bring cloud-based, broadband communications and processing architectures to the tactical edge.

Among other things, there is shown embodiments of an enclosure such as a portable building with features focusing on overall improvement in energy usage. Wall, roof and floor configurations are disclosed that provide significant energy savings. Methods are also disclosed for preparing such features and/or refitting existing portable buildings for such energy savings.

A flooring product has multiple planar single piece substrate components, each with opposing straight longitudinal and lateral edges. A first lateral edge of a second of the substrate components abuts a first lateral edge of a first of the substrate components to form a common seam. The first and second of the substrate components are adjacent relative to a sequential array of multiple substrate components running parallel to the pair of longitudinal edges. The product has a pair of laminate component affixed to each side of each of the substrate components continuously over the sequential array thereof. The laminate components strengthen the product in relation to bearing a load applied to the second surface thereof and each of the common seams. The flooring product may be cut to lengths for accommodating overall lengths of recreational vehicles, trailers or manufactured housing units and thus reduces manufacturing costs associated therewith.

A shelter or camper that provides improved portability and protection. The shelter or camper may include rigid walls to offer greater protection from weather, animals, and theft. The shelter or camper may be transitionable between different configurations for different purposes, including an open and expanded configuration for use as a shelter, camper, or sleeping quarters and a compact, closed case configuration for easy storage and transport. To facilitate this, the walls may be foldable, expandable, or collapsible. When the walls are folded or collapsed, roof and floor sections may be connected to each other and may enclose the folded, collapsed walls and internal components within the collapsed closed case.

A portable shelter with electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection includes a plurality of walls that define an interior space. The walls can be fixed or movable. An EMI protected edge connector joins at least two of the walls together. The EMI protected edge connector assembly can be fixed or hinged. The edge connector can include a metallic outer edge member with two legs and a separate metallic inner edge member with two legs to define an edge channel therebetween with: (i) the first outer leg and the first inner leg are arranged parallel and spaced-apart relative to each other; and (ii) the second outer leg and the second inner leg arranged parallel and spaced-apart relative to each other. The shelter walls can include an inner surface covered by a metallic foil inner layer. A first wall panel is received in a first portion of the edge channel with its metallic foil inner layer contacting the inner edge member and a second wall panel is received in a second portion of the edge channel with it metallic foil inner layer contacting the inner edge member.

In one aspect of the invention, a foldable shelter pod is provided herein including: a top; a bottom; first and second foldable end walls; first and second foldable side walls; and, a plurality of mountable corner panels. The walls are each adjustable from an initial flat folded state to a use state where an obtuse angle is internally subtended. In the use state, first, second, third, and fourth corner openings are defined between adjacent pairs of end walls and side walls. The corner panels are mountable in the first, second, third, and fourth corner openings to brace the foldable shelter pod in an erected state.

A drilling rig may include a detachable, modular cellar arranged beneath a drill floor of the drilling rig. The cellar may be or include a cellar trailer and it may also be configured to house drilling equipment, such as well head equipment and/or one or more blowout preventers. The cellar trailer may provide work areas, such that the well head equipment may be prepared, tested, or generally operated within the cellar trailer. The cellar trailer may additionally be configured to provide stiffening support to the drill floor in order to mitigate deflection of the drill floor during drilling operations. The stiffening support may be provided by a shear wall extending from the cellar trailer. The cellar trailer may be towable. The cellar trailer may additionally be skiddable and/or walkable.

A vehicle-deployable enclosure assembly for deployment on a supporting surface using a lifting vehicle may include an enclosure base which is deployable between a collapsed configuration and an extended, enclosure-supporting configuration. An enclosure may be carried by the enclosure base. At least one attachment system may be provided on the enclosure. The at least one attachment system may be configured to facilitate attachment of the enclosure to the lifting vehicle. The enclosure base may be configured to deploy from the collapsed configuration to the extended, enclosure-supporting configuration in which the enclosure base supports the enclosure over the supporting surface responsive to lifting of the enclosure by operation of the lifting vehicle.

A portable building structure is provided with a central main frame with a roof and a floor and pair of spaced apart uprights located at each end of the main frame creating an recess, top and bottom of the main frame, at least one movable roof structure mounted relative to the recess for movement between a raised, use position and a folded, storage position in which the at least one movable roof structure at least partially closes a lateral side of the main frame, at least one movable floor structure mounted relative to the recess for movement between a lowered, use position and a folded, storage position and at least one moveable wall structure including an end wall frame and a pair of folding frame walls, one at each end of the main frame, mounted relative to the recess, a second of each pair mounted to the end support, for sliding movement from a storage position within the recess, to a use position between an outer end of the at least one movable roof structure and at least one movable floor structure when deployed.

Expandable container shelter, where the container comprises elements pivotally connected to the container in vertical mounts at the ends of longitudinal side of the container, provided for creating a structure designed for extending the inner space of the container to a shelter connected with this container at the longitudinal side of the container characterized in that elements provided for creating the structure designed for extending the inner space of the container (1) to the shelter (2) connected with this container (1) are at least on one longitudinal side of the container (1) composed of one pair of supporting frames (3), where the supporting frame (3) comprises at least one horizontal beam (31), wherein the supporting frame (31) has length in the range up to dimension equal to inner length of the container (1), where the shelter (2) roof (6) supports (5) are connected to the supporting frames (3).
