AI Overview
The Armored Vehicle Launched Bridge (AVLB), such as the M60A1 or M48 variants, is a specialized combat engineering vehicle designed for light and medium armored units to quickly overcome wet or dry gaps on the battlefield.
Key Technical and Operational Features:
- Rapid Deployment: The scissors-type bridge can be launched under armor protection in as little as 3 to 10 minutes.
- Retrieval: The bridge can be retrieved from either end, with retrieval taking approximately 10 minutes to an hour depending on the terrain.
- Bridge Specifications: The system typically spans a 60-foot (18-meter) gap and can support heavy vehicles up to Class 60.
- Armored Launching: The crew can launch the bridge without leaving the safety of the vehicle, making it essential for combat engineering in high-risk zones.
Related Bridging Systems:
- Biber (Beaver): An armored vehicle-launched bridge used to overcome obstacles up to 20 meters wide.
- Enhanced Ribbon Bridge (ERB): Used for wet gap crossings, often supported by bridge erection boats.
The M60 AVLB was introduced in 1963 to support armored forces by providing immediate bridging capability on the battlefield.
