In
response to an RFP in 2005,
Guild Associates, Inc. developed
MIRCS for the United States Army to provide mortuary
service
capabilities throughout the world. MIRCS is based off Guilds'
Expandable Shelter Platform (ESP) design which is a modified shipping
container with sides that lower essentially extending the base. A softwall is
then deployed to create walls and the ceiling. Guilds' patent
pending design
allows for storage of 16 remains in addition to space for
processing and
administrative work. Remains are kept between 34 and 36°F and air
quality meets mortuary standards. In
transport mode the MIRCS dimensions are nominally 20' x 8' x 8' with
corner fitting to meet ISO standards for container shipment.
When
deployed, the enclosed area is almost triple the transport size. MIRCS can be
deployed while on the ground or while mounted on a HEMTT or trailer
(using leg extensions). With operating temperatures ranging from -20
to +125°F and an operating altitude of up to 7,500 ft, MIRCS can be
deployment in most major cities year
around. The hydraulic-assisted lift system allows the platforms to
be raised quickly, easily and safely. MIRCS also comes with
temporary remains shelter which provides a private place to store
remains prior to processing. The complete MIRCS system can be setup in
about 30 minutes by two trained people.
