The Grizzly and the Wolverine: Alternatives to an Orchestrated Ballet of Farm Implements
The Grizzly: A Heavy Force Complex Obstacle Breacher
The Wolverine: A Heavy Force Assault Bridge
The Wolverine features a horizontally launched bridge, which offers a much lower profile than the vertically launched AVLB. Survivability of the force is enhanced and their momentum is maintained by the short 5-minute launch time and a 10-minute retrieval time. The Wolverine also provides the capability for launch from under armor, further increasing crew survivability. The Wolverine has a dual-purpose spade that stabilizes the chassis during launch and provides the crew a means of cleaning mud and snow off the bridge before retrieval.
