Company to supply in-ground electrical systems to power F-22 fighter aircraft during maintenance operations at Alaskan base.

Cavotec MSL is to supply a range of in-ground electrical systems to power F-22 fighter aircraft during maintenance operations at the United States Air Force (USAF) base at Elmendorf, AK.

"The U.S. Corps of Engineers designed these systems with Cavotec – a close and productive partnership we are proud to be part of," says Christian Bernadotte, President Cavotec Dabico US Inc.

Cavotec is to supply several 480v, 120v, and 270 vDC pop-up pedestal units that will be embedded into the floor of a new hangar at Elmendorf. Deliveries are due to start late summer this year, and continue into early 2010.

Featuring a host of advanced technologies, the F-22 Raptor is a fifth generation multi-role fighter aircraft.

"Servicing this aircraft demands the highest standards of precision engineering and quality service – resources we strive to deliver to all our customers," says Bernadotte.

Cavotec equipment is already in use at Elmendorf, providing electrical services during maintenance of C-17 Galaxy transport aircraft in a hangar next to the planned F-22 facility.
