A Sea Ice Terrain and Mobility Model,

Abstract

With the advent of a new generation of air cushion vehicles, often called surface effects vehicles (SEV), the nature of the Arctic pack ice as a vehicle terrain has taken on military and commercial significance. Because of this significance, studies have recently been carried out at USA CRREL in order to effectively characterize sea ice terrain for purposes of SEV mobility, as well as for other types of vehicles. These studies have involved aerial stereo photography, airborne laser profilometry, and ground measurements performed on the pack ice surface.
