Each PTA is made up of two vehicles (bridging** and additional semi-trailer bridge carriers), and is designed to drop or recover the bridge elements it transports automatically.</p>
<p>
The Army is currently equipped with 10 vehicles incorporating the bridge (or pontoon) launching and recovery systems, with 10 semi-trailers carrying additional bridge elements, and 40 bridge elements. CNIM's mission as part of this modernization contract is to <strong>increase the operational performance of the French Army's modular assault bridge over its entire lifespan. </strong>In order to facilitate haulage and bridging operations while ensuring optimal detection of external threats, a <strong>latest generation optronic vision system, </strong>produced by the subsidiary Bertin Technologies, will be integrated. It will offer the pilot and his skipper an <strong>all-round vision by day and by night</strong>. Thus, a larger number of cameras will observe the immediate SPRAT environment.</p>
<p>
The <strong>supervisory command and control system</strong> for all PTA technical parameters will be <strong>modernized</strong> with the integration of a new IT architecture, offering a high level of maintainability. The first modified equipment will be delivered to the Army in mid-2019.</p>
