Tampa, FL – May 2025
Hardline Supply Inc. was proud to exhibit its latest range of military-grade inflatable structures at SOF Week 2025, one of the premier gatherings for the global Special Operations Forces (SOF) community. Held in Tampa, Florida, SOF Week brings together elite military personnel, defense contractors, and innovation leaders to explore the latest advancements in tactical technology and operational support systems.
Hardline operated from two dynamic locations at the event—an indoor booth showcasing our Expeditionary Spectre Shelter and core product capabilities, and an outdoor live demonstration space near the waterfront, where attendees experienced firsthand the Spectre Shelter XL, Barracuda mobility platform, and inflatable military-grade helipad in action.
These systems are engineered for rapid deployment, lightweight transport, and exceptional durability in austere environments. Built to MIL-SPEC standards, Hardline products are ideal for SOF operations, humanitarian deployments, and bare base setup in contested or remote regions.
Product Highlights at SOF Week Included:
Spectre Shelter XL:
A rapidly deployable, fully inflatable structure with no rigid components—ideal for billeting, command centers, or mobile field hospitals.
Barracuda Mobility Platform:
Inflatable vehicle ferry enabling SOF teams to cross lakes, rivers, and fjords with payload capacities from 5,000 to 40,000 lbs.
Hardline Helipad:
A lightweight, packable landing zone platform designed for secure helicopter landings in snow, sand, or uneven terrain.
Each of these systems is built using double-wall fabric (DWF) with an internal drop-stitch architecture, providing rigid, load-bearing strength at inflation pressures of 7–15 psi—allowing field teams to erect or tear down structures in minutes, without special handling equipment.
“SOF Week has been an incredible platform to demonstrate the operational value and logistical efficiency our inflatable systems bring to the field,” said Scott Graham, CEO of Hardline Supply. “We are committed to supporting SOF with the fastest-deploying, most capable infrastructure on the market.”
As Hardline continues to scale U.S.-based manufacturing and pursue Berry Amendment compliance, the company welcomes interest from government agencies, procurement officers, and strategic partners.
