AM 50 is a Czech automatically launched assault bridge used by combat engineers for crossing narrow obstacles such as rivers, canals, and ditches.[1] It is mounted on heavy vehicles (such as the unarmored or lightly armored Tatra 815 8×8 truck), and can bridge a gap up to 52 meters (170 feet 7 inches).
The AM 50 was developed for the Czechoslovak Army in the late 1960s. Today it is in use in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, India and Pakistan.
