AVTP 03-80, one of the Allied Vehicle Test Publications published under the NATO Standardization Treaty (STANAG) , describes the vertical step and trench crossing test methods and requirements for performance testing of wheeled military vehicles. This standard includes methods applied to evaluate the performance of a military vehicle during vertical obstacle and trench crossing.
Briefly, the mentioned standard provides a technique for evaluating the performance of wheeled military vehicles when overcoming concave and convex obstacles.
Mobility for wheeled military vehicles is the ability to move freely and quickly, enhancing their combat capabilities. Mobility is measured by a system's freedom of movement, that is, the percentage of terrain the vehicle moves over, and its average speed or travel time across that terrain. A vehicle's mobility is affected by its traction capability across various soil types. Off-road mobility of military vehicles plays a crucial role in operations. The ability to reach a desired point on a battlefield is the most important condition for military vehicles to successfully complete their mission. These vehicles face a wide range of terrain, including steep obstacles and trenches. The primary functional purpose of a military vehicle suspension system is to enable the vehicle to traverse rough terrain without creating harmful or unacceptable shocks and vibrations to the vehicle and personnel, and without unbearable traction changes with the terrain.
The level of functional capability a military vehicle achieves may necessitate its suspension. However, for wheeled military vehicles, achieving optimal mobility characteristics is the result of an approach that gives due importance to factors such as the elastic support system consisting of spring and damping. In advanced laboratories, all powertrain and suspension systems of these vehicles, such as engines and transmissions, are tested, and the vehicle's traction performance is determined mathematically.
Among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors, our organization provides vertical step, trench crossing test services among the performance test methods of wheeled military vehicles, within the scope of AVTP 03-80 standard, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment. also gives.
