Engineer Test and User Evaluation of UNA-Track Kit

Abstract

The UNA-Track Kit consists of four independent track assemblies which mount directly to the hubs of existing 4-wheel drive vehicles. The tracks replace the wheels on a one-for-one basis; no vehicle modifications are required. UNA-Track Kits were mounted on the 1/4-ton M151 and 1 1/4-ton M715/725 trucks and tested to determine the mobility in an arctic environment. The UNA- Track did significantly improve the mobility of the 1/4-ton M151, and the 1 1/4- ton M715/725, but power steering and other steering system modifications would be required.
