BOXER Bridge Layer

BOXER Bridge System can be equipped with a one-piece 14 m Leguan bridge that can span over a 13 m gap in less than three minutes and handle Military Load Class (MLC) 80 or 100. There is also a 22 m bridge available to bridge 20 m gaps in less than six minutes and handle MLC 50. The 22 m bridge comes in two sections, which will slide forward horizontally when laying, to reduce signature and avoid a scissor system. A similar system is in use with Leopard 2 bridge layer “Leguan”.

The fully automatic, electronically controlled Leguan bridge can be laid and rolled back on a wide range of terrains. The crew of two (driver, operator/commander) is highly protected in the Drive Module and the front section of the Mission Module. The operator can lay the bridge by using an operating element and a graphical user interface. The integrated programme for selftest ensures high reliability of the bridge system and informs the crew of unexpected issues.

In addition to high flexibility and mobility BOXER Bridge System provides its crew with extraordinary survivability and superior protection against mines (AT, AP), IEDs, highest ballistic thre ats (incl. artillery fragments), NBC threats and detection (radar, noise).
