The invention claimed is: 1. A shelter, comprising: a floor, a roof, and a plurality of side walls secured to the floor and the roof, wherein at least one of the floor, the roof, and the plurality of side walls comprises an exterior panel, an interior panel and an attachment device, the attachment device including (i) a first plate coupled to the exterior panel, (ii) a second plate coupled to the interior panel, and (iii) a third plate pinned to the first and second plates respectively for relative rotation between the third plate and the first plate about a first axis of rotation and for relative rotation between the third plate and the second plate about a second axis of rotation such that during relative movement of the exterior panel and the interior panel between a collapsed position and an expanded position in which the exterior panel and the interior panel are spaced farther apart from one another than in the collapsed position to define a cavity therebetween, the third plate pivots between a position in which the third plate is positioned oblique to the first and second plates and a position in which the third plate is generally perpendicular to the first and second plates. 2. The shelter of claim 1, wherein each of the exterior panel and the interior panel comprises a fiber reinforced polymer. 3. The shelter of claim 1, wherein the exterior panel comprises an outer layer, an inner layer, and a plurality of fibers interconnecting the outer layer and the inner layer. 4. The shelter of claim 3, wherein: the interior panel comprises an outer layer, an inner layer, and a plurality of fibers interconnecting the outer layer and the inner layer, and the cavity is defined between the inner layer of the exterior panel and the inner layer of the interior panel. 5. The shelter of claim 4, further comprising a filler material disposed in the cavity. 6. The shelter of claim 5, further comprising a release configured to release the filler material from the cavity. 7. The shelter of claim 6, wherein the inner and outer layers of at least one of the interior panel and the exterior panel are generally parallel planar structures and wherein the at least one interior panel or exterior panel further comprises a core positioned between the inner and outer layer and the plurality of fibers coupled to each of the inner and outer layers extends through the core such that the fibers are generally perpendicular to the inner and outer layers. 8. The shelter of claim 7, wherein at least one of the plurality of side walls further comprises a cover secured to the exterior panel. 9. The shelter of claim 8, wherein the cover comprises a ballistic grade material. 10. The shelter of claim 1, wherein: each of the exterior panel and the interior panel comprises an outer layer, an inner layer, and a plurality of fibers interconnecting the outer layer and the inner layer, the first plate is secured to the inner layer of the exterior panel, and the second plate is secured to the inner layer of the interior panel. 11. The shelter of claim 10, wherein the inner and outer layers of at least one of the interior panel and the exterior panel are generally parallel planar structures and wherein the at least one interior panel or exterior panel further comprises a core positioned between the inner and outer layer and the plurality of fibers coupled to each of the inner and outer layers extends through the core such that the fibers are generally perpendicular to the inner and outer layers. 12. The shelter of claim 11, wherein at least one of the plurality of side walls further comprises a cover secured to the exterior panel. 13. The shelter of claim 12, wherein the cover comprises a ballistic grade material. 14. The shelter of claim 1, wherein the exterior panel is a composite. 15. The shelter of claim 14, wherein the interior panel is not a composite. 16. The shelter of claim 15, wherein the inner panel comprises a ballistic grade material. 17. The shelter of claim 1, further comprising a filler material disposed in the cavity. 18. The shelter of claim 17, further comprising a release configured to release the filler material from the cavity. 19. A structure comprising a floor, a roof, a plurality of side walls secured to the floor and the roof, wherein at least one side wall comprises a first panel, a second panel and an attachment device, the attachment device including (i) a first plate coupled to the first panel, (ii) a second plate coupled to the second panel, and (iii) a third plate pinned to the first and second plates respectively for relative rotation between the third plate and the first plate about a first axis of rotation and for relative rotation between the third plate and the second plate about a second axis of rotation such that during relative movement of the first panel and the second panel between a collapsed position and an expanded position in which the first panel and the second panel are spaced farther apart from one another than in the collapsed position to define a cavity therebetween, the third plate pivots between a position in which the third plate is positioned oblique to the first and second plates and a position in which the third plate is generally perpendicular to the first and second plates, wherein at least one of the first and second panels comprises a fiber-reinforced composite material including (i) an inner generally planar layer, (ii) an outer generally planar layer, (iii) a core positioned between the inner and outer layers, and (iv) a plurality of fibers coupled to each of the inner and outer layers, the plurality of fibers extending through the core such that the fibers are generally perpendicular to the inner and outer layers, a cover secured to at least one of the first and second panels, the cover comprising a ballistic grade material, and an energy dissipating material positioned in the cavity.
