This was a test program to allow the F-104 to take-off and land on short runways. It featured a runway with an aluminum surface of interlocking lightweight metal alloy planking, a catapult and a carrier deck-type arresting gear. The tests were carried out at the Naval Air Test Facility in Lakehurst, U.S. where a few hundred take-offs and landings were successfully completed.
