BLU-MED Response Systems® (BLU-MED®) was formed in 2004 as a division of Alaska Defense® – the military division of AKS Industries, Inc.
Having become the shelter of choice for the U.S. Air Force Expeditionary Medical Support (EMEDS) mobile medical system, and the U.S. Army Combat Support Hospital programs, it became apparent military medical shelters from Alaska Defense® could also effectively meet emergency medical needs by providing medical shelters and mobile field hospitals in the homeland as well as for humanitarian disaster response worldwide. BLU-MED Response Systems® is now the medical division of AKS Industries®.
BLU-MED has proven that they have the best equipment, the best team, and the best combination of experience and have provided proven hospital-based deployable medical solutions to the State of California.
State-of-the-art portable medical shelters and mobile hospitals from BLU-MED® enable communities, governments, first responders, and emergency management to rapidly respond to large-scale disasters, providing medical facilities and emergency shelters when and where they are needed™. Our field hospitals ensure a safe, clean environment conducive to advanced-level care in any climate for extended periods of time.
BLU-MED® offers customized packages to outfit the disaster-response medical facility, emergency shelter or emergency response trailer with essential medical equipment and supplies, such as X-ray equipment, ward beds, and intensive care beds, as well as logistics services for arranging shipping and transporting of supplies, equipment, and other goods in response to emergencies and disasters. BLU-MED® also offers technical consulting services regarding the design and implementation of mobile hospital and treatment facilities for use in emergency and disaster response.
The BLU-MED® team represents more than 100 years of collective involvement in developing, organizing, and deploying similar mobile shelter solutions.
Our Durable Medical Facilities
BLU-MED® designs, engineers, tests, produces, and certifies the world’s the world’s most trusted and popular medical shelters and mobile field hospitals.
The rugged Alaska environment was pivotal to our success, becoming the testing arena for advanced structures that can tolerate extreme temperatures, high winds, and heavy snow loads. Our proven medical facilities provide comfort and dependability from the desert heat of the Saudi desert to the ice flows of Mt. McKinley.
Our high-performance fabric structures are modular by design, easily scaled to meet changing demands, and are highly configurable to provide the necessary medical services at the time and place of need. Our military-grade medical shelters are stronger, safer, more comfortable, easier, and more economical to mobilize than other medical tents. Though portable, they can also be used for permanent, year-round medical facilities. Our rapidly deployable medical solutions are easily adaptable to military, commercial, institutional, recreational, or general public applications.
