PAACS - Phoenix Aircraft Arresting Control System

The Phoenix Aircraft Arresting Control System (PAACS) delivers mission-critical safety controls for military and commercial airfields.

PAACS - Phoenix Aircraft Arresting Control System serves as a unified command center for airfield barrier operations. It integrates controls from the tower, fire station, and maintenance centers into a single, cohesive system.

Built to support BAK-14, BAK-15, and Type H arresting gear, PAACS prioritizes safety through rigorous interlock logic and redundant communication paths.

The system provides real-time status visibility and comprehensive diagnostics, ensuring that critical barrier assets are ready for deployment at a moment's notice.

Key focus areas

  • Unified tower and fire station control
  • Redundant communication architecture
  • Comprehensive safety interlock verification

Implementation checklist

  • Assess existing barrier control infrastructure
