Seven drops of the M37 3/4-ton truck have been made at impact velocities up to 56 fps, and at design accelerations as high as 30g. The cushioning system used for each drop is described and the damage sustained by the vehicle is discussed. It is concluded that this vehicle can be dropped at impact velocities up to 50 fps without any damage, if a properly designed cushioning system is used. Recommendations for improvements, from the aerial delivery standpoint, in the design of the vehicle are included. A detailed description is given of the procedure that should be followed in the design of a cushioning system. (Author)
