Close Support Bridging (CSB)
The Bridging for the 90's System (BR90) is a modular system of bridge components that can be used to form both Close Support Bridging (CSB) and General Support Bridging (GSB) bridges.
The modular design allows damaged panels to be easily replaced.
Close Support Bridges are carried on either the TITAN Armoured Vehicle Launching Bridge (AVLB) or the Tank Bridge Transporter (TBT).
Tank Bridge Transporter (TBT)
The Tank Bridge Transporter (TBT) has the same cross-country performance as a tank even when fully loaded. It can carry 1 x No 10 Bridge or 2 x No 12 Bridges. It can drop of and load bridges independently, but it cannot recover them.
No 10 Bridge
The No 10 bridge is a scissor bridge that can be quickly launched and deployed by TITAN (AVLB).
No 11 Bridge
The No 11 bridge is an 'up and over' bridge. It can be launched quickly and is made up from 2 ramp sections of BR90.
No 12 Bridge
The No 12 Bridge is another 'up and over' bridge. It is the only CSB that doesn't use the common BR90 components. Two can be carried in tandem on the TITAN (AVLB), but are launched and recovered separately.
Combination Bridging
An attachment for the No 10 bridge called a trestle can be used to enable greater spans to be achieved. Using a trestle multiple bridges can be used in combination.
