GA-EMS EMALS and AAG technologies offer significant benefits over traditional launch and recovery systems. EMALS eliminates the limitations facing existing carrier launch systems by providing the flexibility and capability to launch a wider range of aircraft weights, including manned and unmanned aircraft. Both EMALS and AAG will expand the launch envelope while reducing manning and lifecycle costs and maintenance requirements.
Interest in EMALS and AAG is growing as successful installation and deployment continues to progress on all US Navy Ford-class carriers. In addition to its range of launch capabilities, EMALS’ flexible system architecture makes it well suited for installation on different aircraft carrier platforms. The US and Indian governments continue discussions to bring these systems to the Indian fleet.
