Defence and aerospace operations demand infrastructure that is tough, adaptable, and ready for rapid deployment. If you’re storing high-value aircraft, keeping vehicles operational in the field, or setting up command centres in extreme environments, Fabric DomeShelters™ provide practical, industry tested solutions for defence & aerospace capabilities where traditional, permanent structures often fall short.
DomeShelter Australia design and manufacture Australian-made, fit-for-purpose DomeShelter™ Solutions that thrive in harsh conditions, deploy rapidly, and can be integrated seamlessly into existing infrastructure.
Here’s how we solve some of the toughest challenges in the industry:
1. Storing Aircraft in Remote Locations
The Challenge
Defence and aerospace aircraft need secure, all-weather storage and maintenance facilities, often in remote or hostile environments where traditional hangars are impractical, expensive, or slow to construct. Exposure to extreme temperatures, high winds, and airborne debris can damage equipment and compromise operational readiness.
The DomeShelter™ Solution
DomeShelter™ Aircraft Hangars offer robust protection against high winds, sand, and extreme temperatures (between -30°C and 70°C), ensuring aircraft and equipment remain protected and operational in even the most challenging environments. These DomeShelters™ can also be shipped to almost any remote location thanks to our intelligent packaging design and partnerships with trusted logistics providers.
2. Dedicated Vehicle Maintenance
The Challenge
Military vehicles and material handling equipment (MHE) require frequent servicing to stay operational, but without proper shelter, maintenance crews face heat stress, exposure to the elements, and challenging work conditions. These factors slow down maintenance processes, leading to extended downtime and delayed mission readiness.
The DomeShelter™ Solution
Our Vehicle Maintenance Workshops are built for rapid deployment and all-weather protection, featuring high-clearance openings, weather-resistant endwalls, and flexible access points. This design ensures seamless vehicle flow while keeping personnel and equipment safeguarded from the elements. These DomeShelters™ can also be mounted on ISO containers for integrated storage and workspace solutions to provide a secure, relocatable alternative to permanent workshops
3. Rapid Deployment for Humanitarian Aid & Disaster Response (HADR)
The Challenge
In emergency situations, response teams need large-scale, rapidly deployable shelters to coordinate relief efforts, store supplies, and protect personnel. Delays in setting up infrastructure can hinder operations and put lives at risk, making speed and ease of installation critical.
The DomeShelter™ Solution
Our fabric structures are engineered for fast, efficient deployment in crisis zones. Designed for kit packaging in ISO containers, they can be shipped globally and rapidly assembled with minimal parts and complexity. Their lightweight yet durable construction makes them easy to transport and install, even in remote or hard-to-access areas.
DomeShelter™ Structures provide versatile, all-weather protection, making them ideal for field hospitals, quarantine facilities, emergency housing, and storage hubs for aid supplies and equipment. They’re easy to clean, meeting AQIS standards for hygiene and biosecurity. Once no longer needed, they can be relocated, repurposed, or even donated to support long-term recovery efforts.
4. Secure Storage for Weapons & Sensitive Equipment
The Challenge
Weapons, ammunition, and high-value military assets require strictly controlled, highly secure environments to ensure operational readiness, prevent unauthorised access, and environmental damage.
The DomeShelter™ Solution
Our container-mounted structures provide highly secure, customisable storage with the ability to integrate ventilation systems, reinforced access points, and climate control options to protect sensitive equipment. These DomeShelters™ are engineered for easy installation by on-site teams, delivering robust protection against weather, dust, and unauthorised access. With cyclone-rated durability and optional security reinforcements, they ensure mission-critical assets remain protected in even the harshest environments.
5. Modular & Scalable Infrastructure
The Challenge
Aerospace and defence operations often face evolving mission requirements, fluctuating personnel numbers, and the need to establish or expand infrastructure in remote or high-risk locations. Traditional fixed structures can be costly, time-consuming to build, and difficult to modify as needs change.
The DomeShelter™ Solution
Our shelters can be scaled up, reconfigured, or relocated to meet evolving operational needs in a way that permanent structures cannot. Whether you’re expanding maintenance facilities, adding secure storage, or relocating to a new deployment site, DomeShelter™ Solutions offer rapid adaptability without major downtime or infrastructure overhauls. They integrate seamlessly into existing sites, making them a flexible, future-proof solution for dynamic defence and aerospace operations.
