Remote Mine Area Clearance Equipment (MACE) C-130 Load Cell Test Data

Abstract

This report presents the results of the C-130 ramp test of a Hydrema Mine Clearing Vehicle. The test was conducted using a reconfigurable mock C-130 ramp. The objective was to determine if the Hydrema met the C-130 air transportable axle load limitations of 13,000 lbs per axle. Sixteen channels of instrumentation were recorded to determine the weight of the vehicle as it traversed up the test ramp and onto the floor of the plane. In its current configuration the Hydrema exceeded the load limitations of the C-130 aircraft.
