On 16 June 2022, EasiBridge revealed one of its most significant capability advances to date — a power-free Armoured Fighting Vehicle (AFV) short-gap crossing solution, successfully completing Phase 1 DASA Accelerator trials. The announcement confirmed that 6-metre trackways could be placed entirely by gravity, with no motive power required — a breakthrough in armoured vehicle gap-crossing capability.
The social media announcement, shared across Facebook and X, included a video summary of the experimental trials: “Delighted to reveal successful Phase 1 trials of our DASA Accelerator AFV gap crossing system. 6m trackways placed entirely by gravity — no motive power.” A second post confirmed: “Introducing our all-new Armoured Fighting Vehicle short-gap crossing… bringing novel aluminium jointing methods to the fore.”
For armoured vehicle operators, military engineers, and defence procurement teams searching for MLC-rated portable bridge systems, armoured vehicle gap-crossing solutions, power-free bridge deployment systems, or DASA-funded military bridging technology, this development represented a significant expansion of the EasiBridge® product family — extending from lightweight infantry bridging into armoured and mechanised force support.
The AFV gap-crossing solution builds on the same patented aluminium modular architecture as the wider EasiBridge® range — components that are 10 times lighter and 20 times more compact than incumbent Bailey bridge systems — bringing the same revolutionary portability and ease of deployment to a previously vehicle-dependent capability.
