An Experimental Study of an Ultra-Mobile Vehicle for Off-Road Transportation.

Abstract

This report summarizes research accomplished during the first six months of a project aimed at field testing of an experimental vehicle making use of an actively controlled suspension system for improved off-road mobility. The first year of this project involves component evaluation and concept verification with reduced-scale laboratory models. Preliminary test results and projections of performance to be expected in the full-scale vehicle are included in this report. (Author)
