FABHUMS
Fleet Agnostic Bridge Health Usage & Monitoring System
A world-first system delivering safer, smarter bridging through real-time health and usage monitoring. FABHUMS tracks health and usage of bridging assets from the yard to the bridge site, transforming the bridge into an Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) sensor.
In use with the ADF
Dispersed bridge fleets have no unified visibility.
Manual inspections are slow, costly and tied to generic schedules. Overstress and fatigue events often go undetected until failure. Crossings are recorded by hand against the entire bridge set, creating room for human error and limiting visibility of component health.
Continuous condition and usage monitoring.
Sensors fitted to the bridge classify every vehicle that crosses, and per-component tags track health and usage continuously. The data feeds a unified dashboard and live status into C2.
FABHUMS fuses the logistics, maintenance and operational needs into one system, enabling safer bridging operations, ISR capabilities and proactive asset management.
| Today | With FABHUMS |
|---|---|
| Bridges are inspected against a calendar. | Condition and usage are available at any time. |
| Bridges come as kits. | Bridges are managed at the component level. |
| Overstress and fatigue go undetected until something fails. | Events are detected as they happen, enabling accurate future planning. |
| Bridge state is a phone call and a site visit away. | Live bridge and route status pushed into C2. |
| A crossing leaves no record. | Every crossing is a classified, data-rich event. |
Benefits across the bridging fleet.
Safer operations
Real-time detection of overstress and fatigue events, and fewer engineers exposed to manual inspection.
Lower sustainment cost
Usage-based maintenance cuts lifecycle costs by up to 40%.
Longer fleet life
Condition-based maintenance extends service life by up to 25%.
Estimates based on extending the asset beyond its life of type.
How FABHUMS works
-
01
Sense
Sensors detect and classify every crossing. Component tags track health and usage continuously.
-
02
Transmit
Sensor data feeds a unified field dashboard and pushes live status into C2 systems.
-
03
Analyse
Component-level intelligence tracks usage and lifecycle at part level, flagging maintenance before failure.
-
04
Act
Operators get live bridge status, fleet-wide visibility and ISR-relevant event data, from the one sensor network.
Core features
Tactical awareness
Live bridge status in formats that are C2 ready.
Multi-sensor detection
Optical, electromagnetic and manual inputs enable AI vehicle classification.
Component-level intelligence
Tracks usage and lifecycle at part level for predictive maintenance.
Resilient design
MIL-STD-810H, IP67, rated −35°C to +55°C, with a simple operator-focused UX built to survive rugged field conditions.
Integrates directly with ENG|AIDE
Real-time bridge health data feeds straight into engineering decision support.

Sense
FABHUMS is one of the Sense-stage components in the SENTIA framework, turning every crossing into sensed condition and usage data.
Think
FABHUMS analytics assess the sensed condition and usage data, flagging overstress, fatigue and maintenance before failure.
Inform
FABHUMS provides intelligence-based bridging fleet and maintenance decisions, turning sensed condition and usage data directly into a decision an operator or fleet manager can act on.
