NATO Supply Class 1730 is a classification for Aircraft Ground Servicing Equipment within NATO Supply Group 17, which encompasses Aerospace Craft Launching, Landing, Ground Handling, and Servicing Equipment.
Aircraft Ground Servicing Equipment refers to the various tools, machinery, and equipment used to support the maintenance, servicing, and handling of aircraft on the ground. This includes equipment used for aircraft refueling, towing, lifting, loading, and unloading, as well as equipment for ground power supply, de-icing, and other essential ground operations.
The purpose of NATO Supply Class 1730 is to provide a standardized classification system for these types of equipment, ensuring compatibility and interoperability among NATO member countries. By categorizing and organizing the equipment into specific classes, it becomes easier for member nations to identify, procure, and maintain the necessary equipment for their aerospace operations.
Some examples of equipment that fall under NATO Supply Class 1730 include aircraft tow tractors, aircraft jacks, aircraft refueling trucks, ground power units, aircraft de-icing equipment, and various other specialized tools and machinery used in aircraft ground servicing.
It is important to note that NATO Supply Class 1730 is just one of the many supply classes within NATO's classification system. Each class focuses on a specific area of military equipment and supplies, allowing for efficient management and coordination among NATO member nations.
