Proposal Statement
Change "C. Transportable contingency airfield lighting systems." to:

"C. Light weight, man portable and battery operated contingency airfield lighting systems for quick deployment and redeployment in disaster and relief areas."
Recommendation Information
1. Domestic CST and HRF operations may require the setup of helicopter landing zones for Medevac and rapid deployment of critical equipment. The placement of landing zone lighting kits into the equipment kits for the HRF and CST should enhance operational capabilities and provide a safe guided approach to the landing zone.
2. Tactical Airlift units conduct Aerial Port of Debarkation/Embarkation for deployment/evacuation and Aerial Points of Distribution (APOD) missions in the event of a natural disaster. Since austere and Joint Use airfields could experience power outages, damage to lighting systems, etc. there are major safety concerns for the aircrew flying into those dark landing zones.
3. During airlift and Helicopters operations, Lights kits are used during night operations to support the landing zone area around the aircraft to ensure personnel safety and aid in the operation.
4. Kits that are NVIS compatible can support crews using NVGs to enhance operational safety.
5. Domestic airlift support operations, Lights kits are used during night ops to support the operational environment and assist the air crews and ground crews in high demand operations.

Airfield/Landing Zone operations need portable landing zone lighting systems to support night time operations. LED Landing zone lighting systems provide effective lighting support for these operations. Lights kits are required for rapid deployment, light weight, battery operated for quick deployment and redeployment in disaster and relief areas.
