The FNSS SAMUR mobile floating assault bridge has renewed confidence in recent tests by successfully transporting the AYS70T weight class ALTAY tank with its dual transport team, even in shallow depths.
What is the FNSS SAMUR Mobile Floating Assault Bridge?
SAMUR is the first original design and development project of the Turkish Land Defense Industry to be awarded a contract. The SAMUR System is a transport team and bridge system designed to meet the tactical operational needs of the Turkish Armed Forces, enabling rapid and safe passage across watery obstacles in the battlefield.
Dizel motor, otomatik şanzıman, pnömatik süspansiyon sistemi ve hidrolik fren sistemi ile SAMUR Sistemi, ileri ve geri yönlerde %60 eğimde ve %30 yanal eğimde karada sürüş kabiliyetine sahiptir. 2 adet pompa jetinin sağladığı suda sürüş ve 360° manevra kabiliyetine sahiptir.
The SAMUR system, consisting of a single military load class (AYS) 21 tracked vehicle, a dual transport team formed by combining two systems side-by-side (AYS 85 tracked vehicle), and a triple transport team formed by combining three systems side-by-side via ramps (AYS 120 wheeled vehicle), is capable of carrying multiple vehicles. Twelve SAMUR systems can be assembled to form a 150-meter-long bridge, enabling vehicles to cross between shores. Designed to make the best use of limited time during combat, the system allows for the deployment of a dual transport team in a maximum of 10 minutes. The SAMUR system prioritizes safety with features such as a recovery winch, automatic fire suppression system, fixed fire extinguishing system, portable fire extinguishers, and a positive pressure fire suppression system.
