AM-2 Matting Goes AM-X Perhaps in Future?

'WhiteOvies' not only is there AM-2 matting testing at PaxRiver but also there is an humungous lot of AM-2 at '29 Palms' in California which will one day be tested I guess:

'29 Palms' (what is "Psalm 29" I wonder? [ Bible Text: Psalm 29 (CEV) for text ) airfield diagram from: http://aeronav.faa.gov/d-tpp/1303/03160AD.PDF (100Kb)

AM-X will be the new kid on the block at some point perhaps:
