Trackway® Defense
Helicopter Landing Mat
The Helicopter Landing Mat system facilitates the safe landing, servicing, parking and take-off areas for all types of helicopters within an array of environments and operations.
The Helicopter Landing Mat system is engineered to facilitate the rapid establishment of stabilized landing, servicing, parking, and take-off zones for rotary-wing aircraft.
Designed for use across a broad spectrum of operational theatres, it supports all helicopter types by providing a durable, non-FOD-generating surface suitable for expeditionary and austere environments.
The Helicopter Landing Mat system is designed to reduce dust, control debris, and lower the risk of Foreign Object Damage (FOD), helping protect rotary-wing aircraft during landings, take-offs, and ground operations.
Developed in partnership with the UK Royal Engineers, the system is built to tight dimensional tolerances and can be customized to meet specific load, environmental, and mission requirements.
Built for scalability, the mat system supports both temporary and semi-permanent setups. It’s available in a range of panel sizes and surface textures to suit different soil types, aircraft, and operational needs.
- Provides temporary or semi-permanent matting
- Ensures ground/environmental protection
- Prevents Foreign Object Damage (FOD)
- Alleviates brownout by suppressing dust and airborne debris
- Facilitates multiple landings at the same location
- Easily and safely deployed and recovered
- 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
- Anodized or painted as standard, dependent on the panel profile
- Easily cleaned, has a long operational life and is recyclable

The PSA Flat Top N Trackway® is engineered with a distinctive interlocking design that allows two panels to be stacked to a combined height of 0.9 inches, optimizing volumetric efficiency for transport and enabling rapid deployment and efficient packing.
This stacking capability maximises panel capacity within transportation stillages, ensuring compatibility with various logistics platforms. Anodized for enhanced material resilience, the panels offer superior resistance to corrosion, wear, and environmental degradation. Supplied with an anti-skid surface, the Trackway® ensures optimal frictional properties for safety.
Originally developed for the UK Armed Forces over 50 years ago, the original landing mat panel can be transported by land, sea or air in either stillages or 463L pallets. Ideal for landing and take-off for rotary-wing helicopters, the PSA Trackway® panel is lightweight, versatile and can be deployed with ease.
