Tracked Vehicle Testing

GS Engineering, Inc has experience in the design, analysis and testing of track systems. The military tracked vehicle market is challenged by system operating & support costs, track life, vibrations, and weight. GS Engineering has over 28 years of experience in track system engineering including design, analysis, prototype development and testing. GS Engineering is developing new solutions to extend bushing life, to improve ride quality by reducing vibrations generated by the track system, and to reduce the overall track weight.

GS Engineering  provides the following vehicle testing services:
Wheeled Vehicles
Tracked Vehicles
Testing Facilities

GS Engineering’s tracked vehicle test experience includes instrumented field tests for the M1, M2, M113, M60, M109, and the EFV tracked vehicles.

GS Engineering has extensive experience with traditional steel track, aluminum track, and most recently with rubber band track. The latter is lightweight and vibration-resistant, yet it poses many challenges with repair, replacement, and mine blast durability.

Working with customers to address these challenges, GS Engineering has recently developed a new segmented band track system that demonstrates enhanced mobility, reliability, and improved field repair and segment replacement.
