Abstract: A deployable shelter having an inflatable frame arrangement over which is disposed a flexible, the shelter having a deployed configuration and a stowed configuration, which in the deployed configuration the inflatable frame has at least two arched frame members, at least one elongate upper frame member linking together the arched members and two elongate side members, each linking the leg portions of the arched members, the elongate side members connected to the leg portions of the arched frame members so as not to be in contact with the ground or base sheet, in use, and defining, on each leg portion, a foot projection configured to make contact with the ground or base sheet. The deployable shelter is portable and rapidly deployable through inflation of an inflatable frame, of being configured to minimize contact of inflatable elements with the ground.
