Cybernetically Coupled Research Vehicle

Abstract

The report describes the basic principles of operation and performance of the Cybernetically Coupled Research Vehicle. This vehicle (consisting of two coupled M113 APC's) offers significant improvements in cross- country mobility, particularly in obstacle negotiation, and has demonstrated its potential as a research tool for exploration of the principles of controlling articulated vehicles with and without force feedback.
