The GOER Concept

Abstract

This paper has been written to further the designer's understanding of the military vehicle design parameters, as they exist today of the modern day field army's need for a new family of vehicles, which will traverse all types of terrain rapidly and efficiently with an increasing variety of cargo and weapons. The walking army of the past is yielding to the mechanized army on wheels. Since the design of automotive vehicles is at best a compromise, the effectiveness of the completed design depends largely on the talent and finesse of the designer. The GOER concept is such an approach.
