Military bridge classification is essential for operational planning in national and collective defence. It is based on NATO
STANAG 2021, defining Military Load Classification (MLC) for vehicle-bridge compatibility. NATO partners use tools
like BRASSCO NG to assess bridge usability efficiently. It enables rapid evaluation via manual and semi-automated
methods such as drone surveys and laser scanning. These methods gather precise data for structural analysis and MLC
determination. The results integrate with military command systems to support planning and decisions. Automation
reduces effort and enhances assessment speed and consistency. Future development aims at damage detection and
battlefield usability assessment. BRASSCO NG will support repair estimation and infrastructure resilience. Thus, it
strengthens mobility and critical infrastructure reliability in military contexts.
