Soldier/Hardware-in-the-loop Simulation-based Combat Vehicle Duty Cycle Measurement: Duty Cycle Experiment 2

摘要

Duty Cycle: Definition *A military vehicle's duty cycle is specific to the mission and platform type but is a design- and configuration-independent representation of events and circumstances which affect power consumption. *Such events and circumstances encompass (1) vehicle operation along the course such as speed, grade, turning, turret/gun activity, and gun firing plus (2) external scenario components that affect power consumption like incoming rounds, ambient temperature, and soil conditions. *The event inputs can be distance based when the vehicle is moving or time based when the vehicle is stationary, or even triggered with some other state condition.
