A method of making a foamed glass composite engineered material arresting system for aircraft arrest, including heating glass frit to a temperature of between about 1500 degrees Fahrenheit and about 1900 degrees Fahrenheit, softening the frit to define a viscous glass material, and foaming the viscous glass material to yield a foamed glass body. The foamed glass body is then cooled, positioned in a bed located adjacent an airport runway, and at least partially surrounded with a structural matrix material to define a composite bed portion. The foamed glass body is incompressible and fails with a crushing failure mode.
