SCIENTIFIC AND RESEARCH DIVISIONS

Division for Airfield Systems

The aim of the division is building, maintenance and diagnosing of airfield pavements

Essential research and design lines:

  • new engineering processes of repairs and maintenance of artificial airfield pavements;
  • adaptation of military airfields to the needs of NATO;
  • new engineering processes of rebuilding airfield pavements after wartime ("W") destruction;
  • pavement constructions for operational airfields used by fighters and transport aircraft;
  • physical and mechanical testing of airfield/road pavements intended materials;
  • highways as used in air force missions;
  • airfield-pavement diagnosing system;
  • development of new methods of airfield/road pavements testing;
  • investigation into effects of modern aeronautical systems upon airfield pavements;
  • consultations and engineering supervision in the course of repairs and maintenance-dedicated testing work;
  • professional advice, expert opinions.
