Description
Description — Joint Assault Bridge
Overseas Operations Costs (OOC) funds this requirement in FY 2026. The M1110 Joint Assault Bridge (JAB) replaces the existing M104 Wolverine and M48A5/M60 chassis-based Armored Vehicle Launched Bridge (AVLB) to meet current maneuver force survivability, suitability and supportability requirements and provide the only gap crossing capabilities to the armored forces during combat operations. The JAB is an M1A1 Abrams chassis-based engineer vehicle with a M1A2 Abrams heavy suspension that launches and retrieves the 18.3-meter Heavy Assault Scissor Bridge (HASB), which is currently rated at Military Load Classification (MLC) 115 Tons. JAB system will be employed with Army Armored Brigade Combat Teams (ABCT) in the Brigade Engineer Battalions (BEB), Engineer Mobility Augmentation Companies (MAC), and Combat Engineer Companies - Armored (CEC-A). The production / acquisition strategy includes a partnership with Anniston Army Depot (ANAD) for the production of the Abrams chassis and HASB; the ANAD effort includes upgraded AVLBs to the MLC-115 HASB. The JAB prime contractor, Leonardo DRS, produces and integrates the Bridge Launch Mechanism (BLM) along with the Armor Protection kits and Mounted Family of Computer Systems (MFoCS). Common Drive Trainers (Simulators) will be employed to support training efforts for the JAB program. The JAB program completed Initial Operational Test (IOT) in November 2020, received Type Classification-Standard (TC-STD) and Full Rate Production (FRP) approval in March 2021, and achieved Full Materiel Release on 3 Apr 2023. Joint Assault Bridge (JAB) Army Acquisition Objective (AAO): 297
Justification
Justification — Joint Assault Bridge
FY 2026 funding total includes $132.637 million for Base to procure twenty (20) Joint Assault Bridges (JABs) and $7.689 million for Overseas Operations Costs (OOC) to procure one (1) Joint Assault Bridge (JAB) in support of Operation Atlantic Resolve (OAR). Funding also supports the organic industrial base with work to be performed at Anniston Army Depot (ANAD), including purchase of long lead material and subsequent production effort. The Joint Assault Bridge (JAB) fills a critical need in the Army Armored Brigade Combat Teams (ABCT) / Brigade Engineer Battalions (BEB), Engineer Mobility Augmentation Companies (MAC), Combat Engineer Companies - Armored (CEC-A) formations, and provides a system that offers the Combatant Commander improved readiness and enhanced survivability, mobility, and sustainability over the legacy M48A5/M60 Armored Vehicle Launched Bridge (AVLB). Without the JAB, these armored forces will not have the ability to cross gaps during combat operations, severely limiting movement and maneuver and degrading our advantage. In accordance with Section 1815 of the FY 2008 National Defense Authorization Act (P.L. 110-181), this item is necessary for use by the active and reserve components of the Armed Forces for homeland defense missions, domestic emergency responses, and providing military support to civil authorities.

Contractor concentration
No concentration index is published for this line. This line's high-confidence links do not clear the floor for a published concentration index — at least 3 awards across 2 contractor families holding positive obligations, with positive net linked dollars. An index below that floor is a fact about the sample, not about the market. Whatever further links this line carries are medium-confidence, and what each medium evidence path does and does not establish is set out in the methodology. Both bases are in the downloadable warehouse.
Lobbying mentions
No Senate LDA lobbying filing in the tracked data mentions this program element by code or alias.
Oversight
Department-level designation (not specific to this program)
GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not Joint Assault Bridge. No program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.
