The Multi Purpose Platform Bunker

22 November 2002 - 11:00am

The MPP is portable, watertight and bombproof. Though not-yet priced for Home Depot shelves, this clever pod has multiple applications.

"Beyond the obvious military/government applications, Villa sees the potential for the bunkers to be deployed either before or immediately after natural disasters strike as field hospitals (the Fiberglas interior can be sterilized in minutes), distribution centers, communications hubs, and any other emergency needs. They can also be used as arctic and underwater research/exploration modules. Interior configurations include office set-ups and dormitory-style sleeping quarters."
