The Biber (Beaver) tracked bridge layer was introduced into the German Army in 1973. This horizontally laid cantilevered bridge offered the advantage over the previous system (scissors or bascule) of a flat silhouette. The Biber can bridgeover an obstacle within 2-3 minutes. The 2-man crew can control the whole procedure from the tank and are therefore protected. The Dingo 1 was obtained toprovide better protection for the soldiers during overseas operations in Kosovo and Afghanistan. This very mobile cross-country vehicle offers protection against infantry munitions and artillery fragments. A V-shaped deflector on the underbody even deflects most of the explosive power of an anti-tank mine around the body.
