AM2 matting is a system of interlocking aluminum panels used to cover staging areas and taxiways on forward operating airfields. Cass Holdings has the current contract as of 2012.

Each full sheet is 12'X2' and weighs 150 lbs. A half sheet is 6'X2' and weighs 75 lbs. Thickness is 1.5". A full row consists of 4 full and 1 half sheet, offset so they are staggered. They are laid from a center bar out 18 rows each direction for a full mat, measuring 72'6" X 54'. This is to cover bomb damage on an airfield, enabling construction of a Minimum Operating Strip of 2000' X 50'.

The mat sections have alternating U shaped channels so they interlock, and then pins are slid into the joint to hold it close.

Once a section is complete, it is towed over the filled and compacted repair with construction vehicles. It may be equipped with ramped ends for aircraft to roll over. It is fastened down by drilling holes, pouring in molten lead, and pressing in large bolts.

It can be disassembled and reused, if not damaged.

The record competition time for assembling a full mat is 9 minutes, 30 seconds, for a 10 man team.

Smaller sections can be used for smaller craters, spall fields, taxiway reinforcement, and unofficially as foot bridges, patios, cable covers, revetment reinforcement, and anywhere else a large, flat sheet of strong metal is useful.
