<p><b>New page</b></p><div>MEDIUM FLOATING BRIDGE (MFB) / MEDIUM RAFT (MR)<br />
<br />
The Medium Floating Bridge (MFB) is used to provide a hasty means of transportation across water obstacles. It can also be configured as a ferry, in which case it is referred to as the Medium Raft (MR). The system is a reverse engineered design of the Russian PMP steel floating fold-bridge and was designed and built in Germany. The floating bridge bays are each comprised of two road-way and two bow pontoons which are hinged and can be locked in the folded or floating position. Each bay is transported by a specialized HLVW called the Medium Floating Bridge Transporter / Dismountable Flat Rack System (MFBT/DFRS). These 6x6 trucks are equipped with special bridge adapter pallets (BAP) and are configured to transport, launch and recover the bays.<br />
<br />
To construct a floating bridge or ferry, several of the interior bays and / or ramp bays are connected together (depending on the desired length and configuration). A boat called the Boat, Bridge Erection, or BBE, is always deployed with the Medium Folding Bridge. This boat is equipped with twin Stardec V-8, 300 horsepower engines, and is used to assemble / disassemble the bridge / raft components on the water. The BBE is also designed to be transported and launched using the specialized MFBT/DFRS 6x6 HLVW trucks.<br />
