Abstract
The methods used in lunar surface locomotion analysis are applied in a generalized manner to the evaluation of locomotion systems. First, the terrain-vehicle system is described as to mission, operation requirements, environment, and vehicle configuration. Cost effectiveness ratio is then considered from several viewpoints. An example is presented of how to evaluate the ability of vehicle configurations to meet military needs.
