- New "RapTER" targets emergency response teams and military
agencies -
TORONTO,
March 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -
Innovative Composites International Inc. ("ICI" or the "Company"),
(TSXV: IC) (OTCQX: ICIZF, a producer of patent protected composite
structural products announced today the introduction of a Rapid
Tactical Emergency Relief Module called the RapTER.
The RapTER modules have been designed to meet
the challenging needs of emergency response teams, civic and
military agencies. Quick deployment shelters are necessary for
these groups but the current shelters offered in the marketplace
are temporary solutions, offering minimal structural integrity,
security and sustainability.
The Company believes that the RapTER Module is a
significant improvement on existing rapid deployment shelters. A
single large RapTER module can be assembled in approximately 10
minutes by two people with no special training, tools or equipment
required. Made with ICI's patented lightweight, rigid and durable
RMor Skin, these modules offer more durability than tents and more
functionality than trailers while providing the structural
integrity, security and sustainability typically found in permanent
structures. The modules are available in two sizes, Regular and
Extended, each weighing 700 and 1,600 pounds respectively. The
Extended modules are ideal for command centers, medical facilities,
dining facilities and communication centres. The Regular modules
are ideal for forward deployed command posts, storage, kitchen
facilities, guardhouses, or a simple recreation room.
The simple design of the Regular RapTER modules
allows them to fold flat to a height of 36". This allows for up to
28 Regular modules to be transported on a single 53' flatbed truck,
making them readily available in nearly any terrain or territory.
Their weather sealed design can also withstand high winds and
impacts, allowing them to be deployed where other rapid deployment
shelters cannot be. Once on site, deployment is relatively easy. A
two person team simply raises the sides, front and back and locks
or fastens them into place. The roof is then placed on top, locked
in place and the sealed, sturdy and protected module is
completed.
The Company is marketing the RapTER to targeted
emergency response market. Organizations that have shown
continued interest in evaluating RapTER in field conditions include
agencies from Federal, State, and Provincial governments.
