USAF SHIELDED CAB VEHICLES TEST AND EVALUATION

Abstract

Three shielded-cab vehicles were tested to determine their operational capabilities in radio active fields. Testing was concentrated on the "Beetle," a shielded-cab vehicle with manipulators. The "Masher," a shielded T-51 tank recovery vehicle, and the "Bat," a shielded tow vehicle, were also tested. All three vehicles were tested for maneuverability, reliability of operation, operational uses, and radiation shielding integrity. The results of the tests, in general, were satisfactory.
