The Rigid deployable shelter is comprised of 12 wedge-shaped segments that nest concentrically into one another and rotate outward around a central connected shaft in a degree-locked manner to form a shelter. Rapid deployment of the Shelter is facilitated by rotating inner segments around the central shaft. Utilities in the Shelter may be customizable and can include a kitchenette with sink and range, one or more kitchen shelves, table and chair or chairs, a curtain rod, shower spigot and drain, and toilet and toilet paper dispenser. With the exception of the toilet, shower, and kitchenette, all features and utilities are preferably freely rotatable along the central shaft for custom placement. All features and utilities are arranged such that they nest amongst each other in the volume of the smallest segment without conflict when the Shelter is collapsed. The bed will be comprised of a cloth or canvas material stretched to the left-most edge of adjacent segments that automatically folds when the shelter is collapsed and is stretched taut when deployed. Water piping and reservoirs, air ducts, and electrical cordage can be fitted inside the central rotational column for concealment and ease of access, and optional solar voltaic panels can be fitted to the exterior to instantly establish a solar array for power needs when deployed. Inset rigid windows provide natural lighting on desired segments. While the floor to ceiling height will vary throughout the deployed structure, floor segments can be designed for a smooth slope to minimize tripping hazards. Dropdown supports within the walls can elevate the bulk of the structure above the ground without compromising stability yet minimizing flooding risk.

Deployable shelters are used for recreation (e.g., camping), remote operations (e.g., military deployment, field research), and disaster relief (e.g. natural disaster or refugee housing) to provide safety, security, and amenities away from established infrastructure. Most deployable shelters are constructed with canvas and other solid supports that lack protection and insulation from the elements (e.g., strong winds, hail, heavy rain, cold weather) and other environmental hazards (e.g., projectiles and falling rocks), require several minutes to deploy, and lack built-in amenities. Conversely, rigid shelters may have many built-in amenities but lack mobility due to their large size. This shelter is designed to take advantage of both rigid and deployable formats with a high deployed to collapsed volume ratio, wherein the structural segments (wall, floor, and ceiling) nest within one another in a concentric manner and wherein the amenities, such as the kitchenette and bathroom do not come in contact when collapsed or deployed. The Shelter can also be deployed quickly with a rotational force applied to the inner segments until the smallest segment can be latched to the largest segment. The wedge-shaped Shelters can fit together when collapsed for ease of transport in mass to locations of need. Other formats for this structure, including vertical deployment from the bed of a truck are easily accommodated.
