Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded a contract from the U.S. Marine Corps to develop a mobile lightweight folding/expandable (LIFE) bridge. USMC has a need for lighter, more nimble applications rather than the existing tank-sized approach.
Existing mobile bridges are big, heavy, expensive, armored and transported by Abrams class vehicles. The PSI solution provides gap crossing for a new era of smaller independent vehicles without committing large, dedicated resources. PSI’s mobile Lightweight Foldable/Expandable (LIFE) bridge solution is transported within weight and volume constraints of the MTVR. The LIFE bridge can be deployed and retrieved within 5 minutes, and can support loads for MLC-60 standards to span a 15 m gap.
