Proposed Specifications for International Interoperability on Repaired Bomb Damaged Runways

Abstract

This paper suggests definitions for data, data formats, and National responsibilities for development of war emergency airfield pavement repair specifications. An airfield manager would use these specifications to make repairs after an enemy attack. Minimum Operating Strip size, repair quality, repair spacing, and other parameters are specified. If the repair specifications for a specific aircraft can not be met, then discrepancies can be identified and the aircraft operator could assess the additional risk. Exchange of these specifications between the nation operating an aircraft and the nation managing an airfield would enhance NATO interoperability.
