Trackway® Defense
Aircraft Landing Mat
The Aircraft Landing Mat system allows for the rapid construction of temporary runways and expeditionary airfields in locations where the installation of permanent infrastructure is impractical or time-restrictive.
Originally developed for the UK Royal Engineers, this modular aluminum panel system was designed as a portable alternative to traditional runway surfaces.
The Aircraft Landing Mat delivers a high-performance solution for rough and remote environments, outperforming gravel and dirt strips by offering greater stability, durability, and load-bearing strength, even under the toughest conditions.
From standardized setups to fully custom configurations, each Aircraft Landing Mat kit is built to meet the operational needs of any aircraft, maximizing the use of existing airfield infrastructure.
NATO-compatible and palletized for rapid deployment, the system supports both short-term missions and longer-term semi-permanent installations. It’s a mission critical asset for expeditionary airfield construction, contingency operations, and increasing runway capacity when and where it’s needed most.

- A safe and stable landing area
- A safe working area for ground personnel
- Effective in all environments
- Simple panel replacement
- Sustains multiple landings and take-offs
- Aluminum panel, joined together to any size requirements and anchored to the ground
- Designed to be constantly reused for multipurpose operations
- Withstands ambient temperatures ranging from -40°F to +140°F
- Anodised or painted as standard, dependent on the panel profile
- Easily cleaned, has a long operational life and is recyclable
- Foot protection is required for walking on all Trackway® aluminum products
The PSA Flat Top N Trackway® features an innovative nesting design that allows two panels to stack down to just 0.9 inches, maximizing square footage and transport efficiency.
Easily loaded onto 463L pallets or into ISO containers, each panel is anodized for corrosion resistance and long-term durability. An anti-skid surface provides high traction to enhance safety for both equipment and personnel.
With its flat profile, the system is ideal for helicopter landing zones, taxiways, aprons, and maintenance or servicing areas, supporting take-offs, landings, and ground operations with confidence.
PSA Trackway® features a corrosion-resistant painted coating to ensure long-lasting performance in harsh environments.
Originally developed for the UK Armed Forces over 60 years ago, the original landing mat panel is engineered for compatibility with standard military logistics systems, designed to be transported by air, land, or sea using either stillages or 463L pallets.
Optimized for expeditionary air operations, PSA Trackway® supports both fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft during take-off and landing. Its lightweight aluminum construction, modular format, and rapid deployment capability make it well suited for fast-changing operational conditions.
The S46H Trackway® system consists of high-strength, extruded aluminum panels engineered to provide a durable, load-bearing surface for aircraft operations, including landing, take-off, taxiing, and parking.
Designed for semi-permanent and extended use, the system supports operations in environments where traditional airfield infrastructure is unavailable or impractical. Optimized for rapid deployment and retrieval with minimal manpower and mechanical support, it enhances operational readiness in forward deployed and contingency settings.
With robust structural integrity and an integrated anti-skid surface treatment, the S46H Trackway® delivers high friction for safe aircraft handling under varying environmental conditions. Beyond aviation, it also serves as a ground reinforcement platform for wheeled and tracked vehicle routes.
Supplied as a modular, palletized kit, the S46H Trackway® is compatible with standard military logistics platforms and can be deployed directly to the operational site.
Deployment options
The Aircraft Landing Kit Trackway® panels are deployed and recovered quickly and efficiently by hand to an area size of your choice.
