Norway takes delivery of first M3 amphibious bridge from GDELS
General Dynamics European Land Systems delivered Norway’s first M3 amphibious bridge and ferry system to the Norwegian Defence Materiel Agency less than a year after the contract award in November 2025. The wheeled rig can enter the water directly and operate as a ferry or connect with other units to form a floating bridge. It can carry heavy main battle tanks and other military vehicles across water obstacles. Norway is the sixth NATO country and the third Nordic Defence Cooperation member to procure the M3, which can operate with systems fielded by other users.
