Advanced Naval Vehicle Concepts Evaluation (ANVCE) Ship Acceleration Limits.
Abstract
This note defines the tolerable acceleration limits for vehicles in the ANVCE study. In decreasing order of severity, these limits are tabulated : Limit -- Physiological Description (Experienced Navy Crew): A -- Severe, less than one hour; B -- Tolerable, less than one hour; C -- Long-term, severe; and D -- Long-term, tolerable. One would normally design to meet limits (B) and (D), accepting the more severe conditions (A and C) for only a small percentage of the total operational profile, or if very substantial advantages (such as greatly reduced cost, perhaps) accrue from operation at the more severe limit.
