In April, Pavements and Construction Equipment technicians from the 7 CES installed a Dead Man Mobile Aircraft Arresting System (MAAS) in preparation for an airshow at Dyess AFB, TX.
The MAAS utilizes high-strength cables and buried dead man anchors to safely catch and decelerate aircraft during emergency landings or when standard braking systems fail. This mission-critical system is designed for rapid deployment, enabling swift aircraft recovery on damaged or temporary runways and reinforcing the USAF's posture in combat and contingency environments.
