Description: The EFI2 effort was designed to develop a large placement and dispersion salt water capability, as well as an austere surface treatment capability in support of expeditionary water crossing missions. This new surface treatment approach using lightweight composite materials is particularly important in support of Marine amphibious operations in areas of extremely soluble soils. The EFI2 effort was also designed to assess and develop effective techniques for large batch processing of composite repair material in the rapid repair of airfield runways in an expeditionary environment. This will improve mission readiness by getting airfields back on line quicker. It will also reduce the use of matting on expeditionary airfields thereby decreasing damage to aircraft airframes upon landing.
