Evaluation of the Computer Simulation Model NTVPM for Assessing Military Tracked Vehicle Cross-Country Mobility

Abstract

Ground vehicle mobility is an important issue for defence operations. Currently, in the United States and some other NATO countries, the NATO Reference Mobility Model (NRMM) is used to evaluate military ground vehicle mobility. The cross-country performance prediction module of NRMM is based on empirical relations established using test data collected decades ago.
