FAUN TRACKWAY – the defence division of FAUN MV – is developing a new
temporary aircraft landing mat for the U.S military.
The business, based in North Wales, has shipped samples of its existing Aircraft
Landing Mat (ALM) product for testing by the Engineer Research and Development
Centre in Vicksburg, Michigan.
FAUN’s research and development team will then work alongside engineers to
create a new version of the ALM suitable for use by the U.S Air Force’s latest
aircraft.
FAUN’s ALM can be used to build temporary airfields in less than 24 hours for
military operations or delivering emergency aid in the aftermath of a humanitarian
disaster.
The ALM was originally developed for the UK’s Royal Air Force for use as runways,
taxiways and hard standings by a wide variety of its aircraft.
FAUN are expected to unveil their designs of new ALM product later this year.
Chris Kendall, business development manager from FAUN TRACKWAY, said: “In 40
years of developing mobility solutions of the military market, we have always worked
closely with our clients to give them bespoke solutions and this project is no
exception.”
“By applying our engineering pedigree to re-design and adapt our existing products,
we’re able to meet the continually changing needs of modern armed forces as they
adopt new technologies.”
