AGMS is a very versatile and great value deployment system for users with requirements for both heavy and light TRACKWAY.

AGMS ADJUSTABLE GROUND MOBILITY SYSTEM BEACH LANDINGS MADE EASY

AGMS is a specially designed deployment, transportation and storage device for both MLC 30 and MLC 70 TRACKWAY. AGMS lays and recovers temporary roadways of both MLC 30 and MLC 70 variants, using the same adjustable dispenser mounted on a Medium Wheeled Tractor (MWT). TRACKWAY is rapidly deployed from AGMS using minimal manpower. AGMS is widely used in beach landing operations where varying grades of TRACKWAY are required to accommodate a wide variety of vehicle weights. AGMS can be loaded with SPOOLs of MLC 70 TRACKWAY (width 4.5m) or MLC 30 TRACKWAY (width 3.3m). The unique adjustable system allows both types to be deployed using the same dispenser. AGMS is the ideal solution for: Operations that require both MLC 30 and MLC 70 roadways to be deployed. Rapid access and egress of heavy, medium and lightweight vehicles.

Situation: Vehicles, personnel and equipment need to be unloaded from a military vessel. Problem: The sand on the beach is wet and boggy which causes vehicles to become stuck. Solution: AGMS, affixed to a medium wheeled tractor, is used to rapidly deploy MLC 30 or MLC 70 TRACKWAY as required. The TRACKWAY is laid from the beach to the nearest permanent roadway this entire operation is conducted in less than 10 minutes by only two trained individuals. TRACKWAY naturally sinks into the water to aid a straightforward beach deployment.

VRM VEHICLE RECOVERY MATS GET UNSTUCK FAST

VRM is a kit of two aluminium mats that are laid by hand to assist in the recovery of vehicles. VRM is deployed rapidly and is reusable. Situation: A vehicle becomes bogged in the snow, sand or mud. Problem: Other vehicles in the convoy are held up by the bogged down vehicle. Solution: VRM kits are unpacked and are assembled next to the front tyres of the bogged down vehicle. Slight acceleration is applied to allow the tyres to make full contact with the VRM non-slip surface. The vehicle gains traction and the VRM are then recovered by hand and packed away. VRM is the ideal solution for: Rapid mobilisation of vehicles bogged down in sand, mud, ice, snow or swamp. Humanitarian and disaster relief operations. Operations where equipment must be kept minimal and a full TRACKWAY system cannot be used. VRM utilises TRACKWAY technology the mats are rated to MLC 70 and MLC 30, and are capable of withstanding heavy and awkward loads. VRM is reusable, packaged in kit form, and is 100% recyclable.

After speaking with our customers and military personnel from all over the world, our engineers designed a product that is flexible, robust and able to act as a critical recovery tool.

ADR AIRFIELD DAMAGE REPAIR AIR OPERATIONS RESUMED

ADR is a strategic process developed by the UK Ministry of Defence to ensure vulnerable airfields can be made operational after enemy attack. ADR is a strategic process. Fundamental aspects of ADR include preparation, readiness of equipment and a thorough training process. FAUN Rapid Runway Repair equipment is essential to the success of ADR. Situation: An enemy attacks the airfield, a mixture of scabs and craters are left behind. You need to mobilise your counter-strike forces quickly and safely. Problem: There are a variety of methods that can be employed to repair the runway. Which method should be used? What equipment is required and how should personnel be trained? Solution: The ADR process uses the dynamic compaction method to fill in craters, and FAUN Bomb Damage Repair Mats (BDRM) are quickly deployed to cap the craters. Aircraft can now take off, land and taxi along the Minimum Operating Strip (MOS). FAUN BDRM require minimal maintenance. FAUN RRR solutions comprise of the following equipment: Bomb Damage Repair Mats (BDRM)
