The Netherlands signed a contract for three new bridging systems with General Dynamics European Land Systems (GDELS) – Bridge Systems on 30 June, the Dutch Ministry of Defence (MoD) announced on its website the same day. A GDELS spokesperson told Janes on 5 July that the systems are Improved Ribbon Bridges (IRBs) and will be produced in Kaiserslautern, southwestern Germany, but he declined to give the contract value.
The Dutch MoD said the procurement includes pontoons and boats, including for training, as well as equipment to transport bridge sections and boats and bridge adapter pallets to launch and recover the IRBs.
