ARCA NOVA 3.2 Primary Mobile Shelter for 30-32 People — Certified 13-Fold Safety Margin

The ARCA NOVA shelter by BUNKER-OK represents the strongest flagship modular protection units of the next generation. Built to the modern CPS (Civil Protection Standard), they are engineered for a new reality where security is not a temporary workaround, but a strategic responsibility for human lives.

ARCA NOVA Primary Mobile Shelter for 30-32 People — For Enterprises and Educational Institutions

ARCA NOVA for 30-32 people is a shelter designed for medium-sized enterprises, schools, hospitals, and municipal facilities. Three rows of external reinforcing mesh in every element and an internal anti-shrapnel mesh provide protection not only against the blast wave but also against secondary concrete spalling — the most common cause of injuries in shelters during an explosion.

Proven Strength: Field Test Results

Full-scale field blast testing: detonation of an HE-FRAG (High-Explosive Fragmentation) warhead OFZBCh-50 from a "Shahed-136" strike UAV — 50 kg of explosives at a distance of 5 m. Recorded pressure: 1300.2 kPa. DSTU 9329:2025 regulatory standard: 100 kPa. Margin above standard: 13-fold. The shelter maintained complete operational readiness. Field test protocol No. 638-V/2025, National Defense University of Ukraine, dated October 7, 2025.

Proved by field blast testing and fully compliant with standard 9329:2025.

Features enhanced blast protection rated at 1300+ kPa.

Complies with DSTU B V.2.6-2:2009, DSTU 9195:2022, and DBN V.2.2-5:2023 standards. Certified by the State Research Institute of Building Constructions, Certification Body "CENTROSEPROBUD".

The ARCA shelter stands as one of the most technologically advanced solutions on the Ukrainian civil defense market:

• successfully blast-tested against a high-explosive fragmentation warhead from a Shahed-136 strike UAV (47.8 kg), officially recorded in the Test Protocol;
• features an engineering-verified 13-fold safety margin verified by physical testing;
• boasts Ukraine's highest protection class: A-I+, absorbing air blast wave overpressure exceeding 500 (1300) kPa;
• equipped with TriCore Armor — a proprietary, seamless, double three-level reinforcing framework engineered for ultimate structural integrity and added protection against overturning and progressive collapse. In heavy explosions, the critical danger often stems not from the initial impact, but from cascade structural failure. The TriCore Armor framework holds its shape even under partial damage, enhances internal occupant safety, maintains airtightness, and ensures reinforced geometric stability of the door contour to prevent the exit from jamming;
• incorporates the Dual Armor engineering system — a double reinforcement area for enhanced protection, developed for superior structural strength, optimized load distribution, and advanced containment of shrapnel damage under modern combat threats. This provides significantly higher resistance to the blast wave at peak load moments, distributes impact energy effectively, reduces local failure risks, minimizes secondary fragmentation hazards, and restrains crack formation;
• equipped with the Blast Comfort anti-explosion valve, which efficiently suppresses the blast wave and lowers residual overpressure, shielding occupants inside from critical shock loads and providing a higher level of safety and comfort during their stay in the shelter;
• fitted with protective doors featuring heavy-duty protection against air blast wave overpressure up to 800 kPa, or;
• available upon request with reinforced BlastLock protective doors containing reinforced concrete inserts, field-tested against a Shahed-136 warhead blast. The armored concrete core establishes a heavy barrier against shrapnel, boosting the door's capacity to contain fragments, secondary hazards, and critical loads, while increasing the entrance group's resilience to blast waves to preserve the shelter's protective envelope;
• offered in three functional configurations: SAFE CORE, COMFORT, and PREMIUM.

BUNKER-OK products have successfully completed comprehensive polygon field testing in strict accordance with DSTU 9329:2025 (Appendix A) requirements. To validate the extreme safety standard of the shelters, an additional blast test was conducted by detonating a high-explosive fragmentation incendiary warhead (OFZBCh-50) from a "Shahed-136" strike UAV (total weight of nearly 50 kg) at a distance of 5 m from the structure. This far exceeds the state mandated test standard of 2 kg of explosives at a distance of 4 m. As a result of these trials, the shelter by BUNKEROK proved its ability to withstand a blast wave of 1300+ kPa instead of the required 100 kPa. It maintained full operational readiness and provided the necessary safety environment for occupants, demonstrating exceptional strength and resilience under loads that exceed the requirements of DSTU 9329:2025 by more than 10 times.

ARCA multifunctional shelters are far more than just a place to hide.

They represent a brand-new standard in modular safety, where technology, experience, certification, and engineering unite for the primary objective — protecting human lives.

This is a strategic investment in life and safety for decades to come, backed by a warranty of up to 50 years on the concrete structure.

Investing in ARCA NOVA today means investing in the right to live, protect, and pass a guarantee of safety down to future generations.

ARCA Shelters — modular protection engineered to preserve life.

We firmly believe that the CPS quality standard by BUNKEROK must become the fundamental baseline choice for every buyer and a new benchmark of quality for every shelter manufacturer.
