MODULAR BRIDGING SYSTEM (MBS)

Modular Bridging Systems is a mobile military bridging system used for crossing a trench/river gap in the path of the moving platoon/regiment if the need arises. Launching of the bridge is carried out using a launching system, comprising ruggedized hydraulic, mechanical and electronics systems which facilitate system deployment with minimum crew/manpower.

Salient Features:

  • Modular configuration providing a unique edge
  • Suitable for heavy tracked and wheeled military traffic
  • As per terrain requirement, interchangeable modules can be assembled to achieve spans of 14 m to 46 m
  • Can be deployed with minimum crew
  • The system has broader applicability, such as providing temporary bridging solutions for civilian projects or for rescue operations during natural disasters

SARVATRA BRIDGING SYSTEM

Sarvatra Bridging System is used to bridge dry and wet gaps. This system is a vehicle-mounted, multi-span and mechanically launched bridge, designed for swift deployment and retrieval under tactical conditions. It can be launched in two modes: a) Single-span, when deployed to cover a 15 m gap, without the use of trestle legs b) Multi-span, when deployed to cover a gap wider than 15 m, using a number of systems in a series supported by trestle legs. This mode may be used to cover a gap up to 75 m.
