TARDEC ILIR Program: Technical Relevance and Formulation

Abstract

Problem/Questions: The TARDEC ILIR program addresses fundamental problems related to Army ground vehicle technology. (1) Can nonlinear vehicle dynamic models run in real time? (2) What analysis is required for high resolution terrain characterization? (3) Do tractable models exist of diesel engine combustion physics? (4) What thermal/mechanical affects best attenuate high energy lasers? Significance/Potential Impact: (1) Efficient real-time control of motion base simulators; (2) Robust terrain models for real-time mobility analysis; (3) High fidelity combustion models for designing diesel engines; (4) Sacrificial optical elements for high energy laser protection; (5) Improve UGV mobility performance in rough terrain.
