Mobile Blast Deflectors on Victor Ramp at Royal Air Force (RAF) Lakenheath “Rev. 1, 12 August 2024”

1.0 Introduction

1.1 Mission: The primary mission of this project is to enhance the safety of Victor Ramp at RAF Lakenheath by installing Mobile Jet Blast Deflectors (JBDs). These deflectors are vital for protecting personnel, equipment, and infrastructure from the powerful forces and high temperatures produced during aircraft taxi.

1.2 Background: JBDs are critical to modern airbase operations, particularly in environments like RAF Lakenheath, where aircraft operations are frequent.

1.3 Scope: The scope of this contract includes the design, manufacture, and installation of a Mobile Jet Blast Deflector system at RAF Lakenheath. The contractor will be responsible for delivering a fully integrated mobile JBD solution, which includes all necessary foundations, structural components, and associated safety features. These will be portable, be at least 6.7 m, but not more than 9 m tall, with no visible gaps between.
