CROSS-COUNTRY SPEED AND DRIVER VIBRATIONAL ENVIRONMENT OF THE M60 MAIN BATTLE TANK

Abstract

This study investigated the g environment encountered by M60 tank drivers. It was conducted in two phases. In Phase I, the subjects drove an M60 tank over standard courses at constant speed. This phase examined the repeatability of measuring g loads when different drivers were subjected to the same environment. In Phase II, the subjects drove an M60 tank at maximum speed over two types of cross-country courses. This phase established a correlation between speed and g loads and determined the maximum g load the drivers would accept.
