Research abstract
The current deployment mechanism utilized in the presents several disadvantages relative to alternative mechanisms, including a high weight, and minimal control during deployment and retrieval. GS Engineering is proposing the development of an optimized "smart" linkage system utilizing modern rotary or linear actuator technology. This mechanism will be developed using multi-body simulation an optimization tools to produce the lightest possible mechanism. this will increase the mobility of the host vehicle, inprove the load carrying capacity of the bridge itself, and increase the readiness and capability of the fighting force as a whole
