There would be an impact on cost and schedule each time the air bags deployed, intentionally or unintentionally.
Testing this system, especially its sensors, on a vehicle ultimately will entail driving thousands of miles across various types of terrain, deepwater fording, high and low temperatures, and pressure washings.
Additionally, ground system electro- magnetic environmental effects such as electromagnetic compatibility with - discharge are essential factors in evaluat- ing performance.
The ATEC representatives expect to see level test results, and SAR, and plan to witness testing of actual vehicle rollovers at a capable commercial test laboratory.
CONCLUSION - ing. Planned T&E of ditch and dolly
rollovers of HMMWVs integrating the system would be performed at the MGA Research Corp. facility in Wisconsin.
Subsequent M&S and T&E phases need to investigate the effects of having vest and helmet PPE on simulated occupants. A Variant Adaptability Plan has been drafted to assess system integration car- rying over to another vehicle, such as a two-crew variant.
This article illustrates how the Army can handle the challenges of adapting COTS technologies into a HMMWV.

Modifying and using a HMMWV Egress Assistance Trainer (HEAT), such as this one on display at the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research, Development, and Engineering Center in Warren, MI, was considered in adapting commercial-off-the-shelf safety measures to mitigate rollover injuries, but achieving a fast roll rate in seconds was impractical.
