Navigation In this section: EQUIPMENT ENGINEERING EQUIPMENT ENGINEERING EQUIPMENT Combat engineering is about mobility and counter-mobility. The Army’s engineering equipment solves problems, from bridging gaps to bomb disposal and vehicle recovery, it is the kit that keeps troops moving while limiting movement of the enemy. TROJAN ARMOURED VEHICLE CHALLENGER ARMOURED REPAIR & RECOVERY VEHICLE M3 AMPHIBIOUS BRIDGING VEHICLE TERRIER TITAN ARMOURED BRIDGE LAUNCHER BR90 BRIDGE FAMILY EXPLOSIVE ORDNANCE DISPOSAL (EOD) TROJAN ARMOURED VEHICLE OVERVIEW DIMENSIONS EQUIPMENT & ARMEMENT SPECIFICATIONS OVERVIEW Trojan is an armoured engineer vehicle designed to open routes through complex battlefield obstacles and clear a path through minefields. Improved visibility is achieved by incorporating direct and indirect vision devices with low-light, image-intensifying and thermal imaging capabilities. The interior, and to some extent the exterior, of the vehicle has been designed around the crew station positions. Trojan has the flexibility to support a wide range of operations, including humanitarian missions. CHALLENGER ARMOURED REPAIR & RECOVERY VEHICLE OVERVIEW DIMENSIONS SPECIFICATIONS ADDITIONAL SPECIFICATIONS OVERVIEW The Challenger Armoured Repair and Recovery Vehicle (CRARRV) is a highly evolved armoured vehicle designed to recover and repair damaged tanks on the battlefield. The vehicle has two winches, main and auxiliary, and an Atlas hydraulically operated crane capable of lifting a complete Challenger 2 power pack. M3 AMPHIBIOUS BRIDGING VEHICLE OVERVIEW DIMENSIONS SPECIFICATIONS OVERVIEW The M3 amphibious rig can be driven into a river and used as a ferry or, when a number are joined together from bank to bank, as a bridge, capable of taking vehicles as heavy as the Challenger 2 main battle tank. it can deploy pontoons on the move, in or out of water it needs no on-site preparation to enter the water it can be controlled from inside the cab when ‘swimming’ its control functions have been automated allowing the crew to be reduced from four to three. A single two-bay M3 can carry a Class 70 tracked vehicle, where two M2s would have been required for this task with additional buoyancy bags. Eight M3 units and 24 soldiers can build a 100m bridge in 30 minutes compared with 12 M2s, 48 soldiers and a construction time of 45 minutes. The M3 is only 1.4m longer and 3,300kg heavier than the M2. It is still faster and more manoeuvrable on land and in water. A four-wheel steering facility gives a turning diameter of 24m. TERRIER OVERVIEW TECHNOLOGY CET REPLACEMENT OVERVIEW The Terrier armoured digger is the Army’s most advanced engineering vehicle and it gives the Royal Engineers a state of the art capability that can be used to carry out a variety of tasks both in the UK and on future operations. Despite weighing 30 tonnes, Terrier is an agile and versatile piece of equipment that can reach speeds of almost 50 mph. TITAN ARMOURED BRIDGE LAUNCHER OVERVIEW SPECIFICATIONS ADDITIONAL SPECIFICATIONS OVERVIEW Titan is an armoured engineer vehicle designed to enable troops and vehicles to cross gaps of up to 60 metres by laying a selection of close support bridges. Along with Trojan it gives a common heavy armour fleet based on the Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank chassis. Titan can carry and lay the current range of in-service close support bridges, providing ground manoeuvre formations with improved capability, giving them greater flexibility. Improved visibility is achieved by incorporating direct and indirect vision systems including low light, image intensifying and thermal imaging capabilities. The interior, and to some extent the exterior, of the vehicles have been designed around the crew station positions. Titan has the flexibility to support a wide range of operations, including humanitarian missions. BR90 BRIDGE FAMILY OVERVIEW CLOSE SUPPORT BRIDGE GENERAL SUPPORT BRIDGE SPANNING SYSTEMS OVERVIEW The Royal Engineer BR-90 family is composed of bridges capable of Close and General Support and the associated wheeled support vehicles. The bridges are built from interchangeable modular components. Originally designed for Load Class 70 tracked vehicles, the bridges may be crossed by vehicles of up to Load Class 85 under strict safety conditions which accommodates the increase in Load Class of Challenger 2 variants. The bridges have two interconnecting track ways with a 4 meter overall bridge width and 1 meter girder. EXPLOSIVE ORDNANCE DISPOSAL (EOD) DRAGON RUNNER WHEELBARROW DRAGON RUNNER Dragon Runner is a lightweight, back-packable, multi-terrain robot capable of detecting a variety of devices without putting the operator in harm's way, which helps bomb disposal experts find and deactivate improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Acquired as part of the Army's Urgent Operational Requirements in support of Explosive Ordnance disposal (EOD) activity. It is highly manoeuvrable, and when configured with a manipulator arm can dig around suspicious objects as well as pick them up and move them. It also has the ability to place small charges to disrupt suspect devices, and further enhancements, including the incorporation of wire-cutters, have been implemented. Dragon Runner has the ability to send video footage back to the operator at a safe distance thereby enabling troops to assess a situation prior to moving forward or entering a structure, potentially safeguarding lives.
