Vulnerability analysis has predicted severe losses of armored combat units in all mine environments. This prompted investigations for providing countermine hardened suspensions for armored vehicles. The following guidelines were developed for hardening tank track shoes and roadwheels thus providing enhanced survivability: (1) Suspension components should be hardened to demonstrate enhanced blast survival from the explosion of a unidirectional shallow-buried charge. (2) Hardened components should not exceed the weight of current suspensions. (3) The M60 tank tracks and roadwheels should be the baseline suspension components. (4) The vehicle should be mobile after a single encounter and should be able to 'limp-off' the minefield and preclude a complete kill.
