A seventeen inch lightweight improved performance band track was developed for use on the Automotive Test Rig (ATR), a 14 ton amphibious vehicle, under contract to the David Taylor Naval Ship R&D Center. The track was designed utilizing corrosion resistant materials to perform in a marine environment. Using data obtained from a laboratory test, a track was fabricated and installed on a M113 surrogate test vehicle. The performance testing has shown the track's noise and rolling resistance performance advantages as compared to current block tracks. The track has completed 500 miles of endurance testing with no failures or performance problems. (fr)
