Course Overview

Master The Engineering Science of Military Vehicle Technology

The Military Vehicle Technology & Mobility (Advanced) course provides participants with a deep insight into the fundamental design factors and technology used in modern combat vehicles, logistic and amphibious vehicles. Throughout the course, participants learn about the engineering science underpinning vehicle design and the resultant advantages and disadvantages associated with various mobility technologies.

The course is designed to cater for participants who need a working level understanding of the fundamental engineering science and technology used in the design of modern military vehicles. Some basic mathematics and calculator skills are also required. A series of structured tutorials assists participants to further develop their understand relating to key areas of automotive design, vehicle handling, track vehicle steering and suspension design.

Attendees receive a comprehensive set of training notes with supplementary readings materials and difficult to obtain technical data.
