Description
Summary:This document describes procedures for conducting endurance tests of wheeled and tracked vehicles over various standard test courses for prescribed distances or times. Endurance testing involves extended operation of one or more test vehicles under cycles designed to simulate extended field use under proving ground conditions. The endurance test is the principle means of producing data for reliability and maintainability during development tests. This TOP supersedes TOP 02-2-506, Endurance Testing of Tracked and Wheeled Vehicles, dated 26 June 1981. Marginal notations are not used in this revision to identify changes, with respect to the previous issue, due to the extent of the changes. The original document contains color images.
