A group of specialists was assembled at the U. S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) to consider quantitatively the various elements of the entire vehicle mobility problem and to suggest an approach for achieving a substantial degree of solution. One specific purpose of the meeting, and the one that is the subject of this paper, was to design a number of vehicles capable of operating in remote areas of the world where extremely soft soil conditions predominate. This paper describes the application of the design methods and presents the two wheeled-vehicle concepts and the one tracked-vehicle concept that were evolved to satisfy the basic assumptions.
