New generation rapid-response emergency tower

A new rapid deployment tower system has been developed for extremely rapid response to any emergency tower requirement. This new generation tower system greatly improves the capability for quick response and deployment. This paper describes the capabilities and design innovations of the new tower. This tower system is based on a modular concept with standard square tube sections that enable easier storage, handling, and assembly, as well as effortless haulage to any location on any terrain. This also makes possible a wide range of options for any tower configuration that might be required. A number of design features are described that contribute to the tower's ease of use and its versatile capabilities.
