Mamba is a lightweight footbridge for infantry, airborne and special operation forces. The bridge modules are made of high-tensile aluminium extrusions and one complete bridge set is qualified to produce a clear span bridge up to 30m. Wet-gaps of differing lengths can also be crossed with the adaptation of floats.
