The Ride Motion Simulator (RMS), located at the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center's (TARDEC) Ground Vehicle Simulation Laboratory (GVSL) in Warren, Michigan, is a high-performance, six degree-of-freedom (DOF), single occupant motion base designed to recreate the 'ride' of nearly any ground vehicle with high precision and accuracy. The simulator has two vehicle cabs that are essentially space frames that allow for a variety of vehicle configurations. The simulator was specifically designed for crew station and human-in-the-loop experiments. The RMS has a much higher bandwidth than most traditional driving simulators enabling it to recreate the high-frequency vibration often found in military vehicles traversing rough, cross-country terrains. The RMS was previously safety certified by both the U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM) and U.S. Army Developmental Test Command Safety Offices and was originally man-rated for operator-in-the-loop experiments. The writing of this report marks the replacement of the simulator's electronic controller with a custom Moog Test Controller. This report documents the analysis of the new motion controller for the RMS designed, built and installed for TARDEC by Moog, Inc. (East Aurora, NY). It provides system and component descriptions and a specific hazard analysis of the entire system. While this effort only replaces the electronic controls of the simulator, all simulator system and component descriptions are presented here for completeness. The scope of this analysis is the systematic assessment of the real and potential hazards associated with the RMS. This report is an attempt to identify hazards and to discuss the elimination or control of the identified hazards.
