Kuwait Air Force F/A-18 Certifies Aircraft Arresting System

This certification event was beneficial to the U.S. and Kuwait as both parties received more experience using the MAAS, which has been certified to continue providing enhanced stopping power to inbound aircraft for a variety of scenarios.
