    Abstract: A shelter system having an erecting frame system and a protective skin system. The erecting frame system has at least two A-frame legs and at least one tensioning element, each of the A-frame legs coalescing with at least one other A-frame leg with at least one hinge-type connection. The tensioning element is at least temporarily affixed to each free end of the A-frame legs and is capable of generating a tension force to draw the free ends of the A-frame legs towards one another, thereby lifting the hinge-type connection to a predetermined height above the free end of each A-frame leg. The protective skin system has at least one planar element that occupies at least one side plane, one roof plane, and one end plane of the erecting frame system. The planar element of the protective skin system provides at least a partial barrier from a ballistic threat to a volume behind said planar element. The loading of the protective skin system transfers at least in part first to the erecting frame system and ultimately to the ground surface.

    Abstract: A shelter system having an erecting frame system and a protective skin system. The erecting frame system has at least two A-frame legs and at least one tensioning element. The A-frame legs each comprise at least one elongated structural member, each of the A-frame legs coalescing with at least one other A-frame leg with at least one connection. The tensioning element is at least temporarily affixed to a free end of each of the at least two A-frame legs, and comprises at least one elongated structural element capable of generating a tension force to draw the free ends of the A-frame legs towards one another, thereby at least temporarily lifting the connection to a predetermined height above the free end of each A-frame leg. A protective skin system is also provided with at least one side plane, one roof plane, and one end plane. The side plane is disposed between two A-frame legs; the roof plane is concordant with the ground surface; and the end plane is disposed between two A-frame legs of a constituent A-frame leg pair and a ground surface. The planar element of the protective skin system provides at least a partial barrier from a ballistic threat to a volume behind the planar element, the loading of the protective skin system being transferred at least in part first to the erecting frame system and ultimately to the ground surface.
