Reference document providing a comprehensive overview of SCAMA‑ATECH aircraft arresting systems, including energy absorption solutions, cable systems and installation configurations for airport environments.
DOWNLOADRetractable cable system designed to allow joint runway use by military and civil aircraft, while maintaining immediate arresting capability when required by military operations. The system enables remote raising and lowering of the cable from the control tower, ensuring a completely clear runway during civil operations, maintenance activities or snow‑clearing operations.
The BAK‑14U is designed for permanent runway installation and integration with different energy absorber systems.
Its bi‑directional design and hydraulic operation ensure reliable, fast and safe performance, adapting to the operational requirements of military and shared‑use airfields.
The implementation of aircraft arresting systems requires precise integration into runway infrastructure and associated facilities.
SCAMA‑ATECH provides technical guidelines and civil works solutions for the installation of retractable systems and energy absorbers, including below‑grade works, pits, cross‑runway channels, drainage systems and dedicated foundations.
The reference document describes real implementation examples, construction phases and typical configurations at air bases, facilitating the correct integration of systems in real operational environments.
