Extremely easy to use, this motorized floating bridge requires no additional equipment such as boats, cranes or earthmovers for its deployment.
A 100m-long bridge can be built in less than 30 minutes.
PFM exist in both ferry and bridge configuration, due to its modular, autonomous and motorized sections.
It is an all-in-one product with no limitations in bridge length.
The Motorized Floating Bridge has been in active service with the French army and several foreign armies, including the Swiss, Italian and Malaysian service for many years now.
ROCUS Route Clearance Unmanned System

- Unmanned > protect the soldiers
- Remotely operated > can be operated under the protection of a vehicle
- Tracked vehicle > highly mobile with low ground pressure
- Hybrid design > reduced logistic footprint
- Towable > easy to transport
