Results of Structural Testing for FCS Common Chassis Prototype Concept

Abstract

RECOMMENDATIONS: More materials testing -- Developmental tests needed for better characterization * Further racking tests -- Stiffen support structure * Build/Test different structures -- Space-frame structure. BENEFITS TO FCS: Helps validate state of M&S technology on a vehicle hull structure -- Tells the level of reliability that can be anticipated * Testers working with Analyzers -- Data exchange protocols can be established and refined.
