EAF Matting

Abstract

The EAF program designs, develops, tests and fields components of a heat resistant lightweight airfield surfacing system that will support the deployment of the Joint Strike Fighter in austere environments worldwide and a sustainment lighting system to replace the existing obsolete legacy EAF lighting system. These systems will provide EAF Marine Wing Support Squadrons with the required EAF equipments to install Forward Operating Bases and Forward Arming and Refueling Points. With the deployment of this equipment the Marine Wing Support Squadron can support all USMC aircraft allowing the Combatant Commanders the flexibility to deploy Aircraft Combat Elements to meet anticipated threats. The EAF program was previously budgeted for in PE 0205633N project 0601.
