Critical Runway Assessment and Repair (CRATR)
Abstract
The Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) validated the capability need for CRATR in FY 2008. CRATR's objective is to develop the capability to conduct rapid airfield damage assessment, determine the minimum airfield operating surface required, identify unexploded ordnance, and repair runway damage to enable critical airfields to rapidly return to operation. The CRATR JCTD evaluated existing, new and commercial technologies and procedures, and integrated the most successful of these technologies and procedures to develop both material and equipment solutions. The primary outputs and efficiencies are: 1) Successful solutions from early demonstrations were used to create an interim modular repair kit which formed the Spiral One capability for theater; 2) After a successful final demonstration, products from the CRATR QRF/JCTD will be packaged into a final modular repair kit that will transition to the U. S. Air Force (USAF) Airfield Damage Repair (ADR) program. CRATR was sponsored by U.S. Pacific Command (USPACOM). Lead service is the USAF. Air Combat Command is the Transition Manager.
