TEST AND EVALUATION OF AN M-151 AIR CUSHION CONVERSION KIT.
Abstract
The report describes the results of a test program conducted to evaluate an air cushion kit for the M-151 jeep. The kit utilizes air cushion principles to increase mobility in low-bearing terrain. Quantitative tests were conducted in soft clay with a cone index of less than 30, and on a hard surface. In addition, qualitative tests were conducted in water and over varied terrain. Tractive effort was shown to decrease as cushion pressure increased, and the vehicle was successfully operated in water and over varied terrain. (Author)
