TACTICAL BRIDGING - ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

This project supports the engineering, system development and demonstration, and transition to procurement of Future Force Tactical Bridge Systems. Efforts supported include the integration and testing of forty-six meter capability for the Dry Support Bridge (DSB)as well as the development, integration and testing for float capabilities for the Dry Support Bridge (DSB). Other efforts include the development, integration and testing of the Bridge Erection Boat(BEB) and testing of the Program of Record (POR) Line of Communication (LOC) bridge. This project also includes the development and testing of light assault gap crossing capability, a remote controlled automatic launch for the REBS and integrate and test the Rapidly Emplaced Bridge System (REBS) on a Stryker chassis, various bridging product improvements such as upgrade of Armored Vehicle Launch Bridge (AVLB), to higher Military Load Classifications, development of a health monitoring system, and testing of failure modes for composite bridges.
