New AML Matting Revolutionizes Airfield Deployment

After a decade of innovation, the ERDC team has unveiled AML (Airfield Mat Lightweight) — a next-gen alternative to the classic AM2 matting. Designed for faster deployment and easier shipping, AML is 40% lighter and a third less bulky, making it more troop- and cargo-friendly. While AM2 remains the go-to for heavy-duty needs, AML offers a smart, scalable solution for lighter loads. Field testing has shown strong results and positive feedback, especially for its streamlined packaging and ease of use — a big step forward in airfield matting logistics.
