THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COMBINATION RUNWAY FOAMING-TANKER VEHICLE FOR AUGMENTING NAVAL AIR STATION FIRE FIGHTING OPERATIONS

Abstract

A vehicle to combine the functions of foaming runways for emergency aircraft landing and serving as a 'nurse' truck to resupply water and foam concentrate to aircraft fire fighting vehicles has been constructed. This vehicle is to serve as a prototype to illustrate and define some of the features deemed critical for successful operations. Certain elements are left flexible so that conversions can be made from different large capacity tank vehicles.
