Motorized Floating Bridge (PFM)

​​

The Motorized Floating Bridge  (PFM) is a solution dedicated to continuous or discontinuous crossing of wet gaps (lakes, rivers) for MLC 90T / 100 W class vehicles (according to STANAG 2021 standards). It can also be used for civilian operations, during natural disasters (severe floods, bridge collapse).

Currently in service in the French Army, the PFM is also the tactical chosen solution of Land Forces. In order to answer the field stakes, two configurations are available: a fixed bridge or a ferry.

• The multi purpose tactical ramp guarantees access to up to 3 meters high banks without preparation. It can be used for interoperation with other floating bridges
• The floating ramp section is easy to transport. It guarantees high speed entrance for al vehicles (tactical and low-clearance vehicles) and offers enhanced floatability in ferry mode and higher rafting flexibility

The New Generation Motorized Floating Bridge consists of several sub-systems that have diffrent configurations to meet Armed Forces requirements. The PFM is the most flexible solution on the market with two main configurations : the PFM LG and the PFM XP.
