Abstract: Example illustrations of a storage rack configured to store a transportable aircraft landing system are disclosed. A storage rack may include a base structure configured to be secured upon a single pallet, and a plurality of vertically extending support members, or wall members, that are fixed to the base. The rack may thereby define an enclosure separated into a main enclosure and an upper enclosure elevated from the base structure.
