Portable Airfield Lighting System container by Inewatt – PALS

The I PALS (INEWATT Portable Airfield Lighting System) is a portable and autonomous airfield lighting solution, designed for rapid deployment on temporary, fixed or emergency runways, in both civilian and military environments. The entire system is integrated into a removable container mounted on a rugged trailer and can be fully deployed in under 4 hours.

All-in-one Removable Container

At the heart of the system is a mobile, modular, and secure container that enables immediate operation on any terrain. It is designed for the transport, storage, deployment, and operation of a complete airfield lighting system.

Autonomous Electrical Operation

• The system operates using a constant current of 6.6 A, in compliance with ICAO and FAA international standards.

• It is powered by two CCRs (Constant Current Regulators), integrated inside the container.

• The CCRs are supplied by a 10 kW generator (220 V – 60 Hz) included in the system, ensuring full autonomy without reliance on an external power grid.

6.6 A Airfield Lighting with Reinforced Cabling

• The lighting units are connected in series via special heavy-duty cables, delivering a stable 6.6 A current for optimal visibility both day and night.

• The EPR (EPDM) rubber-insulated cables are:

  • Resistant to moisture and extreme temperatures (-40 °C to +80 °C),

  • Rated for 5,000 V,

  • Easy to deploy and retract using motorized cable reels.

Contents of the IPALS Container

• 78 runway edge lights (white LED, 45 W),

• 24 threshold lights (green/red LED, 45 W),

• 30 taxiway lights (blue LED, 45 W),

• 2 modular CCRs with fault indicators,

• 1 generator – 10 kW, 220 V – 60 Hz,

• Motorized cable reels, cable-handling trailers,

• High-resistance cables and color-coded quick connectors,

• Remote controls:

  • Wired control (100 m),

  • VHF/FM wireless control (can be operated from the aircraft),

• Junction boxes, storage cases, ground stakes, and maintenance tools.

Key Advantages

• Fully autonomous system, no fixed infrastructure required,

• Rapid deployment by only two operators,

• Enhanced safety, with remote control and stable regulated current,

• Simplified maintenance, thanks to a modular architecture and rugged components.
