Analysis of CY 77 Tracked Vehicle Accidents Involving Failures/Malfunctions of Laterals, Hatches, Tracks, or Accelerators/Throttles.

Abstract

As of 10 May 1978 USAAAVS had received DA Form 285 reports on 357 combat-type tracked vehicle accidents that occurred during CY 77. A study of driver errors that caused/contributed to these accidents is nearing completion. During this driver-error study several types of materiel failures/malfunctions that also contributed to the accidents came to light. These materiel failures/ malfunctions occurred in 77 (22%) of the accidents and involved laterals, hatches, tracks, or accelerators/throttles.
