During the 1980's many facilities involved in handling nuclear material realized a need to enhance safety and security for movement of sensitive materials within their facility, or ''intra-site.'' There have been several prior efforts to improve on-site transportation, including the unique Device Transport Vehicle for the Nevada Test Site. However, there remains a requirement for an improved on-site transporter for a number of other DOE facilities. The requirements for the vehicle are driven by security, safety, and operational concerns. There also is the opportunity to provide a standardized vehicle design. This has many advantages in common validation and certification, training, maintenance, and upgrades. Finally, although the Intra-site Secure Transport Vehicle (ISTV) is being designed to address on-site transportation issues at DOE facilities, the vehicle has application to other transportation concerns where enhanced security or improved cargo protection in impact or fire environments is needed.
