Saelig has introduced inflatable AirBeam Enclosures for quick set-up Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) shielded, Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) shielded, or Chemical Biological Containment (CBC) enclosures,configured to rapidly deploy and provide an instant and uncomplicated state-of-the-art environment. 

These inflatables can be as small as 7x7-feet or as big as an aircraft hangar.  Applications may include many types of EMI-RFI compliance testing, embassy or field military security, RF or radar interference shielding, EMI-RFI tolerance testing including HERO testing, secure TEMPEST communications, and field hospital or CBC uses with internal anti-microbial or other specialized fabric in place of the EMI-RFI shielded material.  Usable in shipboard environments as well as in the field or inside buildings, these quick-inflate enclosures provide the vital security needed for an array of specialized operations.

AirBeam enclosures have air-inflated support beams, which offer the fastest set-up and strike time of any shelter, minimise the manpower needed for set-up, and are easily transported.  These enclosures are tested to meet the highest military standards of quality and endurance, with an outdoor life in excess of 10 years.  Many of these structures are currently in use in the harsh desert and high desert environments of Iraq and Afghanistan. They are treated to be fire-retardant and will remain inflated even after damage from small arms fire.

The shelters can withstand two inches per hour of free falling and blowing rain for 30 minutes without intrusion of water into the shelter, 10 pounds per square foot of snow load for 12 hours without damage snow load steady winds of 55 mph with gusts up to 65 mph for 30 minutes and more than fifty erect/strike cycles without structural damage.   

An external foyer can be added to allow the user egress without having to interrupt operations or testing.  This allows work to continue with no interruptions or loss of information. Built with heavy-duty Ni/Cu/Ag EMI shielding material sandwiched between layers of ripstop nylon fabric, these tents are tested to over 90dB attenuation of signals from 10MHz to 18GHz under MIL-STD 285.
