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 and a Night Vision Device (NVD) Compatible Runway 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. Design maturity with the Lead System Integrator (LSI) for the Sustainment Lighting System (SLS) program was re-scoped in FY19 and out to focus on the development of a new Light Emitting Diode (LED) CAT I Visual Flight Rules (VFR) Approach Light System and a Night Vision Device (NVD) Compatible Runway Light System.
