Pakistan Army. Communication Shelters.

Rugged, camouflaged communication shelters mounted on military-grade truck chassis and trailers. Engineered for signals operations in the harshest terrain — from high-altitude posts in the north to desert forward bases in the south.

Programme scale
40+ shelters delivered
Timeline
8 – 12 weeks per unit

2019 – 2026 (ongoing)
The challenge

What made this hard.

  • Deployable command post that survives -20°C to +55°C.
  • EMI/RFI-hardened envelope for classified signals equipment.
  • Weight budget compatible with existing military chassis.
  • Repeatable production across multiple batches without drift.
The solution

How PES built it.

  • Bolt-together sheet-metal skeleton laser-cut from a single master DXF.
  • Insulated composite panels with copper-clad RFI-shielded interior.
  • Independent HVAC, lighting and power distribution modules.
  • Camouflage powder-coat finish per client colour spec.
  • Turnkey install: chassis mating, sealing, commissioning on-site.
