Mobile Production Unit (MPU) Shelter (Catalog #01000-001)
Contract: Cubic Defense Systems, San Diego, CA; 7/91 - 11/91
Cubic subcontracted with EMI to purchase, modify, and integrate five 12-foot S280 C/G Gichner Shelters onto customer-furnished M923A2 military cargo trucks. The shelters are vehicle-mounted mobile production units housing audio, video, and computer equipment which support company level after-action review presentations. EMI finished interior surfaces and installed electrical power, signal entry and patch panels, environmental conditioning system, and equipment racks with work surfaces. Units were dust and rain tested upon completion.
Mobile Video Unit (MVU) Shelter (Catalog #01000-002)
Contract: Cubic Defense Systems, San Diego, CA; 7/91 - 11/91
Two Mobile Video Unit (MVU) shelters are an essential part of the MVU/MPU Shelter operation. EMI mounted the 8'6" GMS 1497 shelters on M1037 HMMWV Shelter Carriers, and installed equipment racks with work surfaces, power generator, shore power capability, and telescoping pneumatic mast with air compressor. The MVU shelters received the same environmental tests as the MPU shelters.
M373A2 Shelters (Catalog #02000-001)
Contract: Raytheon Services Co., El Paso, TX; 2/97 - 4/98 & 6/00 - 1/01
Raytheon subcontracted with EMI to build the M373A2 shelters. They are 32-foot van-type aircraft loadable combat trailers. Units are "build to print", fabricated in strict accordance with MIL-S-4671C. To assure strict conformance with fabrication tolerances, EMI constructed a jig accurate to within ± 1/16", overall deviation 1/8". Extensive testing of the completed units was required, including road, water spray and water immersion testing. Twenty-nine production units were provided by EMI. Under a later contract EMI provided fourteen additional units, built to the same exacting specifications.
