Research abstract
NexGen Composites has teamed up with HDT Global to develop and demonstrate a lightweight, durable and rapidly deployable bridge decking system in this SBIR project. The bridge decking is designed to interface with an inflatable air beam structure that can support the passage of a medium unmanned ground vehicle weighing up to 3,500 lbs. over a minimum of twenty-eight feet span. The decking will also be capable of bridging short gaps up to five feet span without the inflatable air beam structure. NexGen will design, build and test several prototype decks using innovative composite panel designs and rapid deployment mechanisms.
