EAF Matting

Abstract

The Expeditionary Airfields (EAF) program is a FY2012 New Start. It was previously budgeted for under PE 0205633N project 0601. The EAF program designs, develops, tests and fields components of a heat resistant lightweight airfield surfacing system and resistant that will support the deployment of the Joint Strike Fighter in austere environments worldwide and a sustainment lighting system to replace existing obsolete legacy EAF lighting system. These systems will provide EAF Marine Wing Support Squadrons with the required EAF equipments to install Forward Operating Bases and Forward Arming and Refueling Points. With the deployment of this equipment the Marine Wing Support Squadron can support all USMC aircraft allowing the Combatant Commanders the flexibility to deploy Aircraft Combat Elements to meet anticipated threats.
