Today’s battlefield is very dynamic and thus defence equipment is being upgraded at a fast pace. The technical advancement of defence equipment and operation is increasing day by day and that necessitates the shelter structures used for them to be technically advanced. This needs deployment by reducing time for command post, tactical operations centre, communications center and surgical support station in remote and combat areas. The present study explains basic requirements of rapid deployable shelter structure for defence applications and explains the available design concepts of shelter structure. The suitability of these designs to defence applications is analysed with the help of TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution) method and ranked based on the outcome. The analysis based on this method shall be highly useful in selecting the shelter structure for a particular application.
