This paper discusses the design and development of high-mobility/agility tracked combat vehicles. These vehicles are tested for increased battlefield survivability through the avoidance, by high-speed and violent maneuver, of hits by high-velocity projectiles and missiles. The interrelationship between the terrain factors (such as soil type, soil shear strength and compressibility, etc.) and the vehicle's characteristics (weight, track length and width, location of center of gravity, velocity, etc.) during steering are studied. Idealized mathematical models of the terrain-vehicle interactions are constructed. The accuracy and range of application of such models are determined from actual mobility experiments.
