Arresting System for F-22 and Joint Strike Fighter (JSF)(Air Force)
Abstract
Tests a complete dual-disc BC11 braking system, including all associated hardware, software, and required spare consumables. The Headquarters Air Combat Command/A7OI, in Langley Air Force Base, Virginia will evaluate the BC11 computer-controlled caliper-disk aircraft arresting system from Scama of Vderstad, Sweden. The current 40 year old Barrier Arresting Kit 12 (BAK 12) aircraft arresting system cannot handle arresting a F-22 through its full range of operational loads. The output will be a computer controlled arresting system that will safely stop an F-22 throughout the F-22's full operational range of stopping speeds without over-stressing the tail hook and airframe. The system is cheaper to maintain and operate, has extensive self-diagnostics, would provide feedback to the airfield tower, and will provide automated recordkeeping.
