Description
In this Phase I SBIR project, Fluid Ride will model, simulate, and virtually demonstrate their patented TRL5 Compressible Fluid Active Suspension Technology CFAST ability to improve soft soil mobility and mitigate road breakaway rollovers on 10-37 ton wheeled vehicles. Soft soil and road breakaway rollover are two of the largest mobility issues for military wheeled vehicles. Fluid Ride's CFAST has demonstrated authority to both overcome or walk out of a No-Go and mitigate road breakaway rollover; advanced control algorithms that sense and respond to these events will be developed. Our team has the experience and capability to deliver these control algorithms though advanced Modeling and Simulation and advanced control methodologies.
