Chem/Bio Resistant Shelters: COLPRO

The Base-X Chemical/Biological (CB) resistant Collective Protection (COLPRO) system is designed with the durability and quick setup of all Base-X Shelters. The Base-X COLPRO system utilizes positive pressure filtration to remove toxic chemical and biological agents and airborne particles on the battlefield or in civil incidents. Extensive testing at Edgewood Chemical Biological Center verified that the Base-X COLPRO Shelter System exceeds military requirements for protection factors.

The Base-X COLPRO System utilizes Hunter Manufacturing filtration technology, developed over decades in close collaboration with the military. The proven LFFA filtration system is fully functional at only 190 pounds, and half the shipping cube of existing CBR filtration units. A High Efficiency Particulate Arrestance (HEPA) filter removes bacteria, fungi, and viruses at an average 0.3 microns. All Base-X COLPRO shelter liners easily retrofit into existing Base-X frame/outer cover assemblies, enabling current customers to achieve CBR protection with their existing shelters.
