The SSBS-10 m plays a crucial role of bridging the gaps up to 9.5 m as a single span providing a 4 m wide, fully decked roadway, ensuring faster movement of the troops. Research & Development Establishment (Engrs) Pune, a premier engineering laboratory of DRDO, has designed and developed the system in association with M/s L&T Ltd. The 12 bridges are part of 102 SSBS-10 m from M/s L&T Ltd, which is the production agency.

The Project Short Span Bridging System involved the development of two prototypes of 5 m SSBS on Tatra 6×6 chassis and another two prototypes of 10 m SSBS on Tatra 8×8 re-engineered chassis. Both the systems have undergone rigorous Directorate General of Quality Assurance (DGQA), MET and User trials and after successful completion of all the trials, the systems were recommended for induction into the services. This bridging system is compatible with Sarvatra Bridging System (75 m), where the last span requires covering gaps less than 9.5 m. The deployed bridge is of the load classification of MLC 70. The system will help in quick movement of troops and enhance the mobilization of resources.

The DRDO has vast experience in developing critical Combat Engineering Systems like Military Bridging Systems. Number of mechanised mobility solutions for the Indian Army like Single Span 5 m and 10 m, Short Span Bridging System, 46 m Modular Bridge, 20 m BLT-T72 and multi span 75 m Sarvatra Bridging System etc. have been developed. Manually launched 34.5 m Mountain Foot Bridge was also developed by DRDO earlier. These bridges have been widely accepted by the Indian Army.

Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh has congratulated DRDO, Indian Army and the Industry on the successful development and induction of the system. He stated that this induction will give a boost to the fast-growing Indian defence industrial ecosystem and help the industry to contribute towards ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’. Chairman DRDO Dr G Satheesh Reddy congratulated the teams involved in the successful development and induction of this bridging system into the Indian Army.

For all the doors that shut on me, I came back to buy the building. Hold on till pain ends, “I never lose, I either win or learn.” –Nelson Mandela. These were the lines that kept me going till my last attempt. I would like to thank everybody who supported me and helped me get this far. Good day, everyone! My name is Enoch Daniel, I was recommended for NDA-146 from 33 SSB Bhopal (Indian Navy) on 18th of February, 2021.  After two failures, the happiness after hearing the officer calling out my chest number had me stumped and I stood as still as a statue!

Ever since I joined the NCC in middle school, I dreamt of joining the Armed Forces, in fact my inclination towards the Indian Navy takes its roots in INS Vikramaditya. I was fortunate to get a chance to visit the vessel and learn about her. It was during this visit when I got to know about the National Defence Academy, and that was the day I decided that I will join NDA. “Whatever it takes!”, was what I told myself that day.

After I failed to clear the written exam for NDA-144, I made the best use of the time I had in the lockdown of 2020 and prepared for the NDA 145 and 146 exams and managed to get a decent 400+ marks. I got my call for the SSB and I over-prepared for NDA-145 and was not able to express my true self. I managed to get till the conference. I learnt a lot from my first attempt and I made perseverance and resilience as my best mates, since I had only one attempt left.

For my second attempt, I took each stage and each task, one at a time. I did a lot of self-introspection.  Also, I met some officers who told me the Do’s and Don’ts that I was not aware of.  They guided and nurtured me and boosted my confidence. I also practiced writing TATWATSRT and SDT. I learnt a lot from my first attempt and improved each time I wrote.

My advice to the aspirants, never forget why each one of you has come this far. Break the whole procedure into small parts and take everything, one at a time. Even if some tasks goes bad, don’t make the same mistakes again, stay calm and always focus on the next task. Think before acting /answering. Never feel intimidated, always be confident. Stop obsessing about the technical details and start feeling the procedure of SSB and be your true self.
