Review of developments in field of aircraft arresting barriers within U S Air Force who accepted arresting gear to be used only under emergency conditions; arresting hooks were installed on all fighter aircraft to improve engagement reliability over that of barrier webbing systems used previously; computer controlled cabled throwing device was developed for engagement of aircraft not equipped with arresting hooks (trainer, bomber, and tanker type aircraft); rotary type energy absorbers have evolved from development programs leading to arresting equipment capable of absorbing over 100 million ft-lb of kinetic energy at engaging speeds up to 190 knots.
