The DRDO has developed a vary of bridges for the Army that have already been inducted.
07 July 2021 Current Affairs:The Army inducted the first manufacturing lot of 12 Short Span Bridging System (SSBS)-10m, designed and developed through the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) in affiliation with Larsen & Toubro Limited, the manufacturing agency. The SSBS-10m plays an indispensable position of bridging the gaps up to 9.5m as a single span sup plying a 4m wide, entirely decked roadway, ensuring quicker motion of the troops.
About the SSBS-10m:
♦ The venture involved the development of two prototypes of 5m SSBS on Tatra 6×6 chassis & another 2 prototypes of 10m SSBS on Tatra 8×8 re-engineered chassis.
♦ The bridging system is compatible with the Sarvatra bridging machine (75 m), the place the closing span required covering gaps less than 9.5 m.
♦ The DRDO has developed a vary of bridges for the Army that have already been inducted.
