Tactical Bridging - Engineering Development

Abstract

This project supports the engineering and manufacturing development and transition to procurement of Future Force Tactical Bridge Systems and support equipment. Funding supports the Engineering Manufacturing Development phases of the Joint Assault Bridge (JAB) and Line of Communications Bridge (LOCB). Other efforts supported include High Performance Material Transition to assess composite materials for lighter but stronger bridges, the Bridge Supplemental Set to enhance support of bridging operations with access/egress matting, assorted power tools, bridge repair equipment and float bridge anchorage and protection devices. This project also supports development of a Structural Bridge Health Monitoring system which will provide the capability to passively gather condition based maintenance data remotely and alert the user of unsafe (overload/critical damage) conditions.
