Expeditionary Airfield Improvements

Abstract

The Expeditionary Airfields (EAF) program designs, develops and tests a Sustainment Lighting System (SLS); specifically the LED CAT I Instrumented Flight Rules (IFR)/Visual Flight Rules (VFR) Approach Light System, to replace the obsolete legacy EAF lighting system. This system will support EAF Marine Aircraft Wing Support Squadrons with the required EAF Approach Light System equipment to install Forward Operating Bases and Forward Arming and Refueling Points. With the deployment of this equipment, the Marine Aircraft Wing Support Squadrons can support all United States Marine Corps (USMC) aircraft allowing the Combatant Commanders the flexibility to deploy Aircraft Combat Elements to meet anticipated threats.
