STANAG standards, which are NATO standardization agreements, determine the military standards of NATO member countries. The purpose of the STANAG 3548 standard published in this framework is to provide design criteria for the standardization of lashing devices on airborne and airborne equipment and cargo weighing more than 1000 kg.
Another similar STANAG standard published on this subject is: STANAG 4062 Suspension and mooring facilities for lifting and securing military equipment for movement on land and sea. The purpose of this agreement is to ensure that adequate suspension and fastening facilities are provided for all military equipment other than those listed in the standard.
Conducting and maintaining air operations at great distances from the main base requires significant resources and integrated logistics support. For these operations, the sustainability element is critical to success. But sustainability is more than logistics. The movement of personnel and equipment remains critical. Logistics, including air transport, plays a vital role in the components of a fighting force. Air transport is an effective means of deploying, maintaining and recovering the fighting force necessary to achieve military objectives.
At this point, the STANAG 3548 standard specifies the requirements for air transport and airborne equipment and fittings on cargo transported internally by fixed wing, in order to ensure safety in air transport and to ensure the safe transmission of cargo. The safety of locking and fixing points for air transport is guaranteed by this standard.
All pieces of military equipment must have appropriately designed lifting and lashing provisions. Since vehicles are deployed with operational loads or unit equipment in cargo beds, the criteria are designed for the full-load vehicle weight. Military lifting and lashing provision location, design, and strength requirements are listed in various standards.
Among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it has given to businesses in various sectors, our organization, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, within the scope of STANAG 3548 standard, air transportation and airborne equipment and fittings on cargo transported internally by fixed wing. It also provides testing services.
