equipment.
3.4.3 Rotary-wing external air transport. The dismounted shelter and
shelter/vehicle combination, with payload (see 3.2.1) shall be capable of being
externally transported by DoD rotary wing aircraft, CH-47 and larger. At maximum
loaded weight, the dismounted shelter and shelter/vehicle combination shall be
capable of meeting the external air transport requirements specified in appendix
A. The dismounted shelter with or without mission equipment shall also be capable
of being flown under the UH-60 helicopter. The shelter, shelter/vehicle, and
shelter/vehicle/trailer shall be structurally capable of meeting the requirements
of interface standard MIL-STD-209 and withstanding the loads when flown in; single
point, dual point, and tandem load configurations and shall show no signs of
damage or degradation as a result of being flown.
3.4.4 Ground mobility. The shelter/vehicle combination, with payload (see
3.2.1), mounted on an M1097 HMMWV, shall be capable of being driven over road
courses as defined by the Perryman, Churchville, and Munson courses found at
Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, without damage or degradation to the shelter,
or damage or degradation to the vehicle, caused by the shelter. The
shelter/vehicle combination shall meet U.S. and NATO countries highway legal
limits.
3.4.5 Fording. The dismounted Type I shelter shall be capable of being forded

MIL-STD-209.
3.5 Identification. The exterior of the shelter shall be permanently marked to
allow the user to identify the manufacturer, Contract Number, and production unit.
The dimensions which locate the center-of-gravity of the shelter in the three
planes; the gross weight and mission equipment payload of the shelter; and the
bearing pressure on the bottom shock elements. This information shall be visible
with the shelter either mounted or dismounted from the vehicle. The location of
the center-of-gravity shall be determined by the contractor using the first
article unit of production with simulated mission payload.
3.6 Recycled, recovered, or environmentally preferable materials. Recycled,
recovered, or environmentally preferable materials should be used to the maximum
extent possible provided that the material meets or exceeds the operational and
maintenance requirements, and promotes economically advantageous life cycle costs.
