EFA
Amphibious system
EFA was a specially designed amphibious system supporting forward combat units in high-intensity operational environments.
Featuring rapid deployment from road to river in minutes and high mobility on both land and water, it offers universal functionality as a ferry, raft, or bridge capable of handling large vehicle flows up to class MLC 70.
This bridge operates autonomously with a two-person crew, is capable of dry gap crossing, effective for civil defense operations, and has demonstrated superior performance in extreme climate conditions.
