Sustaining readiness is a core component of the Army Modernization Strategy and the fleet of ground vehicles must be capable and available to fight when called to action even as additional requirements such as additional armor and electrical loads are imposed on such systems. In support of this principle, Combat Capabilities Development Command Ground Vehicle Systems Center (CCDC GVSC) provided Program Executive Office Ground Combat Systems with modeling and simulation (M&S) expertise to analyze soft soil towing capability of a notional recovery vehicle. The analysis involved simulating a notional recovery vehicle and disabled towed main battle tank up a slope and developing design changes to improve soft soil towing performance.
