Under OCCAR&#8217;s leadership, representatives of the user requirements and industry, within the framework of a Preliminary Design Review (PDR), assessed the maturity of the system&#8217;s design and defined the way forward. This review strengthened confidence in the WWGC program&#8217;s technical direction and provides a solid foundation for the forthcoming work toward the pivotal Critical Design Review.<\/p>\n<p>With the achievement of this first milestone in strengthening military mobility and interoperability, it was decided to commence detailed planning to support progress toward the Critical Design Review (CDR).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Floating Rapid Bridge System 2 (SSB 2)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Budget Committee of the German Bundestag, with its approval on 8 October 2025, cleared the way for the development and procurement of the future floating bridge system. Floating Rapid Bridge 2 (SSB 2) will be developed by General Dynamics European Land Systems \u2013 Bridge Systems (GDELS-BS) under the designation M3 EVO. Up to 2036, 66 systems are planned. The funding requirement amounts to 488 million euros.<\/p>\n<p>After the Critical Design Review, planned for March 2027, the three qualification samples for Germany are expected in the first half of 2029. Serial production is to begin in mid-2031. With an annual production rate of more than ten systems, the last two M3 EVO are expected to reach the troops by 2036.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>German-British Pioneer Bridging Battalion 130<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Germany and the United Kingdom operate in the German-British Pioneer Bridging Battalion 130 in Minden 30 German and ten British M3 amphibious vehicles. The end of the bridging system&#8217;s service life will be reached in 2035. Since 2022, the two nations have been seeking a solution for the future floating bridge system within the Wide Wet Gap Crossing (WWGC) program and have tasked OCCAR with the execution.<\/p>\n<p><em>Author: Gerhard Heiming, Defense Economy Editor<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1714,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[744,1173,1169,349,1171,1170,1172],"class_list":["post-1713","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-begins","tag-bridge","tag-detailed","tag-evo","tag-phase","tag-planning","tag-swimfast","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33","resize-featured-image"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
