GDELS’ M3 amphibious bridge and ferry system was delivered in less than a year. The system stands out for its interoperability with SRB/FSB/IRB pontoon bridge systems and suitability for all climatic zones.
General Dynamics European Land Systems (GDELS) has delivered the first M3 amphibious bridge and ferry system to the Norwegian Defence Materiel Agency. Following the contract awarded in November 2025, the first system was delivered in less than a year. Norway has become the sixth NATO country and the third member of Nordic Defence Cooperation (NORDEFCO) to procure the M3 system. The system stands out as NATO’s fastest bridge-laying and ferrying system.
M3 Amphibious Bridge System Operates as a Floating Bridge and Ferry
Capable of transporting all types of vehicles, including the heaviest main battle tanks, across wide water obstacles, the system can operate as either a floating bridge or a ferry. Another key feature of the M3 system is its interoperability among operating nations and with the widely used SRB/FSB/IRB pontoon bridge systems. The procurement of the M3 system by Northern European countries demonstrates the platform’s suitability for all climatic zones and the most challenging terrain conditions.
