The Comparison Test of the Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical (HEMTT), M978 Tanker was conducted by the U.S. Army Combat Systems Test Activity, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD. The objectives were to assure that vehicles being currently produced meet or exceed the performance of Initial Production Test vehicles; to verify that corrective actions on previous deficiencies and shortcomings have been accomplished and are adequate; and to provide evidence of the contractor's conformance to contractual requirements. This report covers the results of the following subtests: Initial/Final Inspection and Servicing, Stowage, Physical Characteristics, Gradeability and Side Slope Performance, Steering and Turning, Tie-down and Sling Provisions, Weight Distribution, Braking, Acceleration, Self-recovery Winch Capability, Toxic Fumes, Fording, Environmental Operations, Electromagnetic Interference, Human Factors Engineering, Safety, Logistic Supportability, and Endurance and Reliability. The M978 tanker accumulated 8,048 km (5,001 mi) of operation and 50.8 power takeoff (PTO) hours of pumping operations. (SDW)
