United States Air Force Critical Performance Demonstration/Test - November 1998

Rain Test - CAMSS Passed all Standards
The wind/rain simulator will be set to simulate a 40 mph wind/rain. One end wall and one side wall of each shelter system will be exposed to the simulated wind for 30 minutes per wall. Free falling rain will be applied to the shelter at the rate of 5 inches per hour to determine if its design will prevent water accumulation on the roof surface.

Wind Test - CAMSS Passed all Standards
The shelter will be exposed to wind at speeds of 65 mph for 30 minutes per side. (MIL-STD-810E, Method 506.2, Procedure III)
