by Richard Gerth; Scott Bradley; Michael Letherwood; David Gorsich

Abstract

The Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC) led a NATO Cooperative Demonstration of Technology (CDT) effort to demonstrate and validate the Next Generation NATO Reference Mobility Model (NG-NRMM). The effort was to create complex and simple terramechanics simulation models of a 12 ton wheeled vehicle traversing actual terrain and compare the results to physical tests. An overview [1] detailed research [2] and validation results [3] are described elsewhere. One aspect of the project was to make the all the data available to the research community to use for further research in off-road mobility and autonomy. All of the data/information mentioned in this paper is Distribution Statement A – Unclassified – Distribution Unlimited and can be downloaded at ftp://ng-nrmm:thread$panel@nrmm.mtukrc.org for use.
