Existing research facilities at U. S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) are being utilized in a systematic approach to developing and validating more reliable models of the man-vehicle-terrain system. Specific attention is being given to developing more realistic models of tires, tracks, and deforming soil. The dynamometer systems at WES are being utilized to evaluate these models and to determine dynamic characteristics of certain tires and track systems. High-speed computing facilities are being used extensively, and capabilities for in-house simulation activities are being increased. Obstacle courses and test tracks will be used to evaluate analytical models and assess the validity of criteria for determining ride quality and/or vehicle speed.
