Tyndall Air Force Base is on a mission to repair battle-damaged runways as quickly as possible, with minimal materials, manpower and equipment.
For the past three years, lab experts have been perfecting the technology, equipment and processes to deliver a capability called expedient and expeditionary airfield damage repair, or E-ADR.
“E-ADR is like a mini version of rapid airfield damage recovery,” said Dr. Bobby Diltz, AFCEC Airfield Damage Recovery Research, Development, Test and Evaluation Program manager. “RADR is a proven method for recovering airfields after an attack, but it requires a few dozen vehicles, Airmen and pre-positioned materials.”
E-ADR is for scenarios that don’t have the required manpower, equipment and materials RADR needs, Diltz said.
