The US Army's Tank and Automotive Command (TACOM) unit accident study on military transport trucks indicated that the M939/A1/A2 series were repeatedly involved in rollover accidents, causing injuries and fatalities. As a result, TACOM turned to one of the truck's original designers, AM General Corp. (AM General) of Livonia, MI, to improve the truck's safety. TACOM suggested adding a rollover protection structure to the truck's existing frame. Using Accupak/VE Mechanical Event Simulation with Linear and Nonlinear Stress Analysis software by Pittsburgh-based Algor Inc. to test the modified truck frame design, AM General was able to create a safer vehicle, reduce the number of prototypes needed, and shorten the length of the design cycle.
