Bunker Badger
UGV and PAX bunker shelter with cover and concealment
Bunker Badger is a modular bunker shelter for unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) and the people who work with them (PAX). A UGV drives out on a fold-down ramp, patrols or supports the position, and returns under armor to recharge and rearm. Cover comes from the shelter shell; concealment comes from a camouflage canopy and netting that deploys over the position and breaks up its visual and thermal outline in desert or woodland.
