TRG has been around for some time providing innovative solutions for warfighter problems. The Remagen Man Portable Bridge is one of the coolest things we have seen. Designed at the request of troops fighting house to house in Iraq, the Remagen is lightweight (91 lbs) and modular. Assembled in up to four sections (90†x 22†x 4â€) the bridge can span a 28′ obstacle and with an optional fifth panel can safely extend that to 33′ while supporting a 500 lbs load. The Remagen is manufactured from carbon fiber w/aluminum-G-10 fiberglass fittings and easily assembled in the field by a three man crew in 10 minutes.
Now all of this is already pretty handy, but wait. Flip a bridge panel over and it is an assault ladder. Now THAT is cool.
