AVTP 03-90, one of the Allied Vehicle Test Publications published under the NATO Standardization Treaty (STANAG) , describes the methods and requirements for vertical and lateral incline capability tests conducted as part of performance testing of wheeled military vehicles. This standard includes test methods for evaluating the performance of a wheeled military vehicle on various vertical and lateral inclines.
Military vehicles are evaluated by their off-road performance. Among them is the ability to work on an incline of 60 percent. To evaluate the performance of wheeled vehicles, tests are carried out following certain procedures. However, theoretical calculations must be made in order to create a vehicle configuration that meets the required performance criteria before approval. In addition, with the vehicle design project, a speed limit is set for slopes below 60 percent. It is therefore recommended to determine vehicle speed on varying degrees of longitudinal gradients.
The AVTP 03-90 standard defines methods for evaluating the capabilities of wheeled and tracked vehicles on different slopes.
Identifying ramps that maintain a constant longitudinal gradient on a road long enough to allow for acceleration and maximum speed is extremely difficult. Therefore, simulation programs are generally used due to the challenge of ensuring safety conditions for the military vehicle being tested. Furthermore, weather conditions can delay test success, and maintaining good road grip in winter or rainy weather is a significant limitation. For this reason, using and verifying a virtual test procedure to document the longitudinal gradient performance of a military vehicle is preferred. This method, demonstrating the ability of off-road vehicles to perform on gradients above 25 percent, is also accepted by Directive 2007/46/EC, which is in force in European Union countries.
Essentially, new generation armored military vehicles undergo a series of special stress tests. In addition to ballistic resistance tests and rough terrain tests, these vehicles also have to pass rigorous tests associated with other important structural elements.
