FAUN TRACKWAY USA Develops New UAV Landing Mat Technology

FAUN TRACKWAY USA today announced the development of a new Aircraft Landing Mat (ALM) technology specifically designed for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) use. After launching in July 2011, FAUN’s temporary roadway and landing mat technology has completed a successful testing and demonstration period. “FAUN’s technology allows for mobility in any environment, and unmanned operations require flexibility to land in various climates and terrains,” said FAUN TRACKWAY USA CEO J. Alun Jones. “The new UAV landing mat will enhance the company’s range of support for the U.S. Armed Forces.” Describing the UAV landing mat’s use for U.S. military purposes, Jones said that “Unmanned aircraft have become a critical element in reconnaissance, surveillance and combat activities, and FAUN is confident the U.S. will be able to employ this new solution to strengthen its defense infrastructure.” FAUN TRACKWAY USA continues to work with the U.S. government to test temporary roadway and landing mat solutions. FAUN’s Heavy Ground Mobility Solution, a rugged temporary roadway, was tested by the U.S. Navy’s Construction Battalions in August. Testing for the Aircraft Landing Mat continues in Vicksburg, Mississippi at the U.S. Army’s Engineering Research and Development Center.
