Description

In this SBIR program, Mantel Technologies will develop an innovative, light weight, rapidly deployable canine shelter for use in response to chemical warfare agent threats. The shelter will be capable of filtering particulates and absorbing a wide range of chemical warfare agents and will meet canine behavioral, anatomical and physiological needs including shelter temperature regulation and airflow. The Mantel collapsible canine shelter system will be portable by a single canine handler and will deploy in the time it takes to don individual chem-bio protective garments. This technology is operationally relevant for working dog missions wherever chem-bio threats are present due to natural disaster or intentional release.
