Tactical Bridging - Engineering Development

Abstract

This project supports the engineering, prototyping, testing and manufacturing development of future force bridge systems and support equipment as well as improvements to existing systems within the Bridging Product Management portfolio. Funding supports developmental and operational testing of the Line of Communication Bridge (LOCB), development, prototyping and testing of the Bridge Supplemental Set (BSS), operational testing of the Joint Assault Bridge (JAB), and funds multiple efforts to upgrade and modernize existing systems through the Family of Higher Military Load Classification Bridges (FoHMLC-B) program. Funding also supports the development of new systems and capabilities such as the Assault Float Bridging System and the Bridge Health Monitoring System (also known as Automated Bridge Condition Device (ABCD)). Funding also supports development, test, and evaluation of upgrades / modernization of the Joint Assault Bridge (JAB) and Assault Breacher Vehicle (ABV) M1A1 base chassis to the standard Army M1A2 SEPv3 configuration in order to improve maintainability and supportability, minimize impacts of obsolescence, and establish commonality with the current Abrams Main Battle Tank system.
