Q

What is the mission of EAF?

A

To provide the Marine Air Ground Task Force with a flexible capability to rapidly deploy & establish a survivable self sustaining airfield(s) in support of the Aviation Combat Element (ACE).

20
Q

Explain EAF

A

It’s a shore based, aviation weapons support system which permits deployment of landing force aircraft within effective range of ground forces.

Although an EAF may be nothing more than a grass landing zone (LZ) to support helicopter ops the installation of one or more EAF component adds versatility and durability to the site selected for aircraft ops.

21
Q

What are some of the design/layout considerations?

A
  1. Duration/tempo of ops
  2. Type & number of aircraft (fixed/rotary)
  3. Taxiing/parking requirements (high power run-up/shelter)
  4. Location & terrain (barebase, flight approach obstacles, seasonal rainfall/drainage, & sub-soil preparation)
22
Q

What is a barebase?

A

The use of existing airfields/roads to construct tactical military airfields. (When you utilize existing structures instead of AM-2 matting.)

23
Q

What makes up the EAF systems?

A
  • Airfield Recovery Systems-M31 Marine Corps Expiditionary Arresting Gear System (MCEAGS)
  • Airfield Terminal Guidance Systems
  • airfield lighting & marking
  • Airfield communication system
  • Airfield surfacing system
24
Q

What does the M31 gear consist of?

A
  • 2 trailer assemblies positioned on each side of the runway in the intended aircraft recovery area
  • each assembly is anchored to the deck and interconnected by a runway cross deck pendant
  • each energy absorber is anchored to the deck & interconnected by a runway cross deck pendant (CDP)
25
Q

What does FLOLS stand for?

A

Fresnel lens optical landing system

26
Q

What is the FLOLS?

A

A precise instrument that guides the pilot to a pre-determined touchdown point on the runway.

27
Q

What does MOSLS stand for?

A

Minimum Operating Strip Lighting System

28
Q

What is a MOSLS?

A

A portable, self charging, multi-purpose, trailer mounted, lighting system.

29
Q

What is an EAF hardwire lighting system?

A

A system that will be utilized for deployments of longer than 90 days.

30
Q

What is AM-2 matting?

A

It is an airfield surfacing system made out of fabricated aluminum panels that consist of hollow, extruded one piece main section with extruding end connectors welded to each end.

31
Q

What is the configuration of a runway?

A

4,000 feet X 96 ft

3 vertical take-off landing (VTOL) pads
—one at each end & one at midfield

32
Q

What is the configuration of the arm de-arm pad?

A

150 ft X 96 ft

Located at both ends & capable of supporting one set of arresting gear

33
Q

What is the configuration of a taxiway?

A

3848 ft X 96 ft
Parallel to the runway
Capable of supporting one set of arresting gear

34
Q

What are hides?

A

Aircraft parking slots

35
Q

How are hides configured?

A 
Connected to the taxiway
Capable of housing fully combat loaded aircraft
Size: 
fixed wing- 36 ft wide X 96 ft long
Rotary wing-24 ft wide X 120 ft long
36
Q

What are the locations of the arresting gear?

A

Midfield, taxiway, & overrun

37
Q

What is Expanded tape sweeps areas of 150 ft for bi-directional capability?

A

Arresting gear

38
Q

What are revetments?

A

Protective walls built on the rear and sides of hides to decrease collateral damage to other aircraft in the event of an explosion

It allows for closer parking of aircraft & decreased total matting requirements

Constructed of pre-fabricated materials or soil
