Tracked military vehicles were the choice of fighting vehicles due to their heavy fire power, better armor package
distribution, better traction, and ability to fire on the move without spades. Many armies are converting to all wheeled
vehicles, but one of the drawbacks is the inability to fire on the move without spades. A 2D heave pitch vehicle model
for HMMWV has been developed. Simulation results indicate that by the use of MR-fluid dampers with the skyhook
controls, it is possible to remove the spades, control chassis vibration, and prevent vehicle lift off during mortar firing,
without bursting the tires.
