Rsch In Veh Mobility
Abstract
This project conducts research in support of advanced military vehicle technology with emphasis on advanced propulsion, sophisticated vehicle dynamics and simulation, vehicle-terrain interaction and advanced track and suspension concepts. Advanced propulsion research will dramatically improve power density, performance and thermal efficiency for advanced engines, transient heat transfer, high temperature materials and thermodynamics. This project also supports state-of-the-art simulation technologies to achieve a more fundamental understanding of advanced mobility concepts. The subject research is directed at unique, state-of-the-art phenomena in specific areas such as: non-linear ground vehicle control algorithms, using off-road terrain characteristics; and unique mobility approaches, using advanced analytical and experimental procedures. The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Research and Engineering science and technology focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this project is performed by the Tank and Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC).
