COBRA

The highly capable COBRA is a flexible assault bridge deployable from medium wheeled and tracked vehicles.

Bridge Concept

Universal Design

The COBRA system is designed to be adapted to any wheeled or tracked armored platform.

The Truly Modular Enabler for Your Vehicle Fleet

The COBRA turns any armored vehicle into a dual-role platform.

Modularity
One Bridge Fits All

The same COBRA Bridge Launch Mechanism (BLM) can be combined with 15- and 9-meter bridges. With small adaptations, the BLM can be permanently or temporarily attached to the existing interfaces of the carrier platform. Besides armored vehicles, even agricultural tractors can carry the COBRA – providing a cost-efficient bridging asset for rear areas.

Speed
Fast and Secure Launch

The COBRA bridge is launched or retrieved in approximately two minutes. During the process, the crew remains fully protected under armor. Speed and protection ensure maximum crew survivability.

Load Capacity
Highest MLCs for Many Obstacles
  1. Two COBRA Variants

    The COBRA is available in combinations of 15 meters / MLC 90 and 9 meters / MLC 120. Both types enable even the heaviest of vehicles to safely negotiate the numerous medium-sized dry and wet obstacles encountered in any landscape and urban setting, such as smaller rivers, canals, ditches, and craters.
