California Medium Shelter System (CAMSS30) Background

The California Medium Shelter System is One of the Most Successful Shelters in the United States Air Force Inventory.

The United States Air Force sought a new faster, lighter and stronger Air Force Medium Shelter System for the 21st Century. CAMSS Shelters met the challenge with the CALIFORNIA MEDIUM SHELTER SYSTEM. Through extensive competition the excellence of the CALIFORNIA MEDIUM SHELTER SYSTEM prevailed. Breezing through US Army Aberdeen Proving Grounds:
Wind Testing
Compact Design
Wind Driven Rain Testing
Rapid Assembly
Snow Load Analysis

While others fail, the California Medium Shelter System delivers reliable wind and snow loads in a compact easy to transport rapid assembly 463L compatible package. The CALIFORNIA MEDIUM SHELTER SYSTEM blew through the competition by reducing set up time by 75% and reducing air transport burden by 66%.

The testing continues. Extreme testing of the CAMSS enhanced liner system in +125 F with full simulated Saudi Arabia solar load chamber tests at the U.S. Air Force Eglin AFB McKinley Climatic Chamber followed by -50 F chamber testing. The CALIFORNIA MEDIUM SHELTER SYSTEM demonstrates superior cooling and heating capabilities to all others.

Field testing at the U.S Air Force Holloman AFB with AFOTEC testing confirms set up time in less than 4 hours with six personnel and successful set up even in windy blustery conditions. Operational readiness was confirmed through repetitive strike/assembly cycles with the CALIFORNIA MEDIUM SHELTER SYSTEM remaining mission ready.

Assigned NSNS for Each Individual Part

For the Tan and Green CAMSS30 Versions
To assure logistical support and maintain the high level of quality of the CALIFORNIA MEDIUM SHELTER SYSTEM The United States Air Force assigned each unique part of the CALIFORNIA MEDUM SHELTER SYSTEM a National Stock Number (NSN) making it easy to order the original high quality parts and guarantee the integrity of the system over time.
