Treatment is given to some of the considerations and types of systems which enter into the design of five types of GEM vehicles performing, under specified requirements, the missions of amphibious support, anti-submarine warfare, utility barge, reconnaissance car and ocean transport. A specific design is generated for each of these missions except for the ocean transport. A method is developed for selecting size, weight, or power for various size vehicles based on a separate propulsion system. It is shown that for each of the missions, a minimum size, weight, or power exists. Information was gathered through the use of a GEM morphology data sheet questionnaire on existing GEM hardware, systems components, and model tests. This is presented in tabular form for comparison purposes. (Author)
