Independent Aircraft Arresting Systems Subject Matter Expert
Certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB)
Advisory Services
This service delivers complete lifecycle engineering, layout siting, and configuration validation for military and civilian aircraft arresting systems. Scope covers standard runway configurations, permanent overruns, and expeditionary deployments—delivering turn-key recommendations and development oversight for sub-surface pit vaults, barrier shacks, above-ground pad mounts, and Textile Brake setups. We provide site-specific recommendations to guide clients on the optimal configuration type for their operations, ensuring total alignment with rigid regulatory requirements. This advisory delivers expert technical oversight for core energy absorbers integrated with BAK-12/14, Type-H, and MAAS systems, validating system siting parameters, runway thresholds, MRES alignments, and critical component longevity. All operations govern scheduled maintenance protocols, troubleshooting repairs, and overhauls, culminating in final mechanical validation via high-speed taxi tests or certification engagements if needed to guarantee absolute flight line safety.
This service delivers comprehensive on-site advisory to develop or optimize AAS shops from the ground up, ensuring all regulations, continuity milestones, and safety protocols are met. Serving as a liaison between Barrier Shop/AGE personnel, commercial airports, fighter wings, and MAJCOM leaders, this scope bridges the gap between life-saving equipment and upper-level management. Training provides operational validation for base operations, shop teams, and fire departments executing critical emergency rewind operations per regulations. Special focus is placed on documentation, complex IFE paperwork, special level/cold storage parameters, and confined space safety protocols—all backed by real-world lessons learned. Ultimately, this service provides site-specific arresting system recommendations, culminating in a formal Certificate of Competency for validated personnel.
This service delivers rigorous, customizable operational and safety evaluations tailored to exact client requirements. Scope includes independent on-site assessments for airfield barrier infrastructure, mechanical tolerances, and documentation continuity. Inspections can be executed as a "White Hat" preparatory audit to mentor personnel and identify compliance gaps prior to official evaluations, or as a zero-notice "Black Hat" mock inspection to rigorously stress-test shop readiness. All engagements identify critical failure points, evaluate asset integrity, and provide concrete remediation steps to guarantee flight line compliance.
