715124450 TWE 3

TWE is a temporary structure designed to provide a safe and ambient working environment including extreme and austere weather conditions. TWE can house a fully armed Attack Aircraft in temperatures ranging from -10 Celsius up to 50 Celsius whilst maintaining an internal temperature of 26 Celsius. TWE can also withstand wind speeds of up to 90mph and snow load of up to 80kg/m2
TWE shelters are flexible in their approach allowing a wide spectrum of capabilities to be housed and maintained within them varying from fast jets, Unmanned Air Systems (UAS) to the CH-47 Chinook heavy lift rotary wing aircraft to ordnance of varying profiles and dimensions, and varying characteristics.
The current capability consists of;
· 25M x 40m RES (21.7m Heli Door width) (16) - Are typically fitted with a Heli-door, Roller Shutter Door at the rear and are 40m long. These typically house helicopters and UAVs.
· 25M x 40m RES (18.75m Heli Door width) (2) - Are typically fitted with a Heli-door, Roller Shutter Door at the rear and are 40m long. These typically house helicopters and UAVs.
· 25M x 100m RES (1) - Are typically fitted with a Heli-door, Roller Shutter Door at the rear and are 100m long. These typically house helicopters and UAVs.
· 20M RES (67) - Typically support fast jet aircraft and are fitted with Trident doors which open and close like an eyelid
· 25M Sunshade (4) - A hangar with no side walls or door ends, these are used to shelter helicopters and UAVs from the elements when sitting at the end of a runway on high readiness
· 18M Sunshade (14) - A hangar without side walls or door ends, these are used to shelter fast jets from the elements when sitting at the end of a runway on high readiness.
· ECASS (8) - These Environmentally controlled armament storage shelters are 9.1m x 16m in size and are used for armament storage; they are fitted with large heavy metal doors.
The shelters are currently in service predominantly in the UK, Europe and the Middle East, supporting...
