The REBS is a light dry gap bridge
developed by the General Dynamics European Land Systems (GDELS) for the us
army. It was designed to provide the tactical
bridging capability for highly mobile
mechanized infantry forces such as the
striker brigades of the us army.
Work locations and funding will be
determined with each order with an
estimated completion date of december 16/2026. U.S Army contracting command detroit Arsenal, Michigan is the contracting
activity.REBS is designed based on the proven
beaver Armored Vehicle Launched Bridge (ACLB) system. rebs uses proven components and
identical bridge sections.
The bridge components are made of high
tensile aluminum. The expanded bridge will have an overall
length of 13.8 m, a width of 3.35 m, a
track width of 1.20 m, and a height of
0.56 m. The total weight of the bridge is
4,800 kilograms. REBS allows the crossing of unprepared
gaps up to 13 m for vehicles weighing up
to military load class 50 MLC-50.
The system integrates a transport and
launching pallet launcher, launch beam
two bridge halves, hydraulic system, diesel hydraulic power source and
electrical control system. The horizontally free launched REBS system is operated by a crew of two. The remotely controlled hydraulic
launching and retrieving sequence is
carried out from the truck mounted
bridge adapter pallet using an
integrated launcher. the pallet can be mounted on pls trucks
within the 10 T to 15 T-range.
The REBS bridge can be deployed by
various types of armored fighting
vehicles using Adaptable Bridge Launching Kit (ABLK). The ABLK enables the vehicle crew to
launch the system within 30 minutes. The transport truck or the pallet
integrated diesel driven hydraulic
system provides power for the operation.
The launcher pallet also features an
electrical control system and an
independent diesel hydraulic power
source. The standard transporter vehicle of the REBS is the us army and 1977 CBT common
bridge transporter CBT. The REBS can also be mounted on eight
times eight armored fighting vehicles
such as striker and piranha three. The system can be adopted by most
vehicles due to its flexible size, weight
and transport ability.
The ABLK is air portable by any
aircraft with a payload capacity of more
than one thousand eight hundred
kilograms.
REBS (Rapidly Emplace Bridge System)
The REBS (Eapidly Emlaced Bridge System) is a light dry gap bridge developed by
the General Dynamics European Land Systems for the us army. The REBS is a light dry gap bridge developed by
the general dynamics european land
systems for the u s army, it was designed to provide tactical
bridging capability for highly mobile
mechanized infantry forces such as the
striker brigades of the us army.
REBS has been recently displayed at the
laad 2011 defense exhibition held in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. In 2002 the u.s army tackum tank
automotive and armaments command placed
an order with the dells for a total of
20 REBS. General dynamics teamed with am general
for the us army REBS program. The u.s army successfully evaluated the
rebs prior to the issue of type
classification and full material release
in april 2007. The system entered service with the us
army in the same year.
REBS Armored Bridging System Design.
REBS is designed based on the proven
beaver Armored Vehicle Launched Bridge (AVLB) system. REBS uses proven components and
identical bridge sections. The bridge components are made of high
tensile aluminium. The system integrates a transport and
launching pallet launcher, launch beam, two bridge halves, hydraulic system
diesel hydraulic power source and
electrical control
system.
The expanded bridge will have an
overall length of 13.8 m with the 3.35 m, track width of 1.20 m and a height of
0.56 m. The total weight of the bridge is 4,4800
kilograms. REBS allows the crossing of unprepared
gaps up to 13 amp for wheeled and
tracked vehicles weighing up to military
load class 50 MLC-50.
REBS Bridge Laying Performance
The horizontally free launched rebs
system is operated by a crew of two. The remotely controlled hydraulic
launching and retrieving sequence is
carried out from the truck mounted
bridge adapter pallet using an
integrated launcher. the pallet can be mounted on PLS trucks
within 10 t to 15 t range. The transport truck or the pallet
integrated diesel driven hydraulic
system provides power for the operation.
The launcher pallet also features an
electrical control system and
independent diesel hydraulic power
source. The REBS bridge can be deployed by
various types of armored fighting
vehicles using ABLK (Adaptable Bridge Launching Kit). The ABLK enables the vehicle crew to
launch the system within 30 minutes.
The couple bridge is lifted on the top
of the armored fighting vehicle using
the kit and two bridge halves are
adjusted one on top of the other during
the movement. The bridge is then transferred to other
crossing site and launched again under
armour protection.
The REBS ABLK has a laser range finder
and a camera. The ABLK can be easily fitted to when
removed from the vehicle. The lower silhouette achieved by the
horizontal free launch reduces enemy
reconnaissance.
REBS Transporter Vehicle
The standard transporter vehicle of the
rebs is the u.s army and 1977 CBT common
bridge transporter cbt. REBS is
a light dry gap bridge developed by the
general dynamics european land systems. The bridge mounted on the truck will be
deployed in less than 10 minutes. The vehicle along with the bridge will
weigh
9450 kilograms.
The CBT is used as a prime mover for the
rebs supporting the Striker Brigade Combat Team (SBCT). It also loads launches and recovers the
ribbon bridge improved ribbon bridge and
heavy dry support bridge using the Bridge Adapter Pallet (BAP). The BAP is equipped with a winch to
control the launch of bridge bays as
well as to recover the bridge bays.
The REBS can also be mounted on eight
times eight armored fighting vehicles
such as striker and piranha three. The system can be adopted by most of the
vehicles due to its flexible size, weight
and transportability.
REBS Mobility
REBS including bridge and pallet is air
portable by C-130 Hercules, C-160, C-17 Globemaster, C-5 Galaxy and airbus A-400M aircraft. The expanded bridge can also be carried
as underslung load by a CH-47 helicopter. The ABLK is air portable by any aircraft
with a payload capacity of more than 1,800 kilograms.
