Purpose of study was to consider elements of mobility problem and to develop number of vehicle test bed concepts, capable of operating in remote areas of world where extremely soft-soil conditions predominate; soil strength criteria of 10 rating cone index (RCI) for one pass with maneuvering and 25 RCI for 50 straight-line passes were selected; two wheeled vehicle concepts (8×8 and 10× 10) and one tracked vehicle concept were recommended for fabrication as test beds; plan of supplemental tests of environmental factors on vehicle performance.
