The Indian Army has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for upgraded Ponton Modular System (PMS) Assault Bridges, which are vital for enhancing the mobility of mechanised and infantry forces in overcoming obstacles during operations. These advanced bridges are expected to feature improvements in span length, speed of deployment, and ruggedness, thereby aligning with India’s defense modernization and self-reliance initiatives. The procurement reflects a strategic emphasis on developing technologically advanced, mobile engineering solutions to support rapid mechanized operations, ultimately strengthening the Army’s operational effectiveness and battlefield maneuverability. This move underscores India’s commitment to indigenization and the enhancement of military infrastructure capabilities.
