摘要：	There is a need, when contingencies so dictate, for US Air Force Base Civil Engineers (BCE) to have the capability of making use of unusual or irregular surfaces for support of low volumes of aircraft traffic. Much information exists in guide manuals and in reported research, which is applicable to evaluation of such surfaces for their capability to support aircraft traffic. There is, however, no single document available to the BCE which provides guidance in the evaluation of surfaces for such use in a contingency. This study undertakes development of a procedures manual for BCE to provide guidance in testing and evaluation of surfaces for support of ground operations of aircraft. Use, in a contingency, by USAF inventory aircraft for limited operations is contemplated, and virtually any suitable type surface, from unprepared soil to conventional paving, is included. The Phase I effort examines needed guidance to be included, surveys the technology contributing to satisfaction of these needs, and presents guidance to established methodology and source material for use in development of the planned manual. Short-term needs which can and should be satisfied for incorporation in the manual are listed. Long-term needs identified for future study are also delineated.
