Comparison of the Ride Qualities of Standard M60A1 and Hybrid (Tube-Over-Bar) M60A1E3 Tanks.

Abstract

The main objectives of the study were to determine the advantages in ride quality provided by the hybrid suspension configuration and to obtain better-quality terrain-limiting speeds for input to the DYNTACS computer model for combat effectiveness studies. Also investigated was the effect of the main gun position on ride quality and compare ride levels at the driver's seat with those at the tank commander's observation seat.
