Just eight soldiers and a single launch vehicle can get traffic moving over a 46-metre wet or dry gap in less than 90 minutes, using the new generation DSB Dry Support Bridge. The DSB is the leading rapidly deployable tactical military bridge of its kind in the world, for both military and disaster relief operations.
With its 120 Military Load Classification (MLC) rating, the DSB has already been procured by the US, Swiss, Australian, Turkish and Philippine Armies and has repeatedly proven its value in the field, with deployments including the USA, Europe, South Korea, Iraq and Afghanistan.
The DSB offers remarkable operational flexibility and is ISO transportable.
With 120 MLC, the DSB can be deployed by only 8 personnel to span a 46m gap in under 90 minutes
RAPID DEPLOYMENT
The DSB's primary mission is emplacement on main supply routes in the rear of the area of direct combat, while its secondary mission is to support and maintain the momentum of attack, when water and dry-gap obstacles are encountered that exceed the capabilities of assault bridging assets.
Around 200 DSB bridging systems have already been supplied to armed forces around the world.
