2. BACKGROUND:

One vehicle, truck, utility, l/4-ton, 4X4, M151A2, US Army Reg. No. NBO4A,
produced under contract No. DAAEO7-71-C-0103, was subjected to a 5000-mile
comparison test at this installation during the period 24 May to 2 July
1973.
The over-all configuration of the M151A2 vehicle is basically the same
as previous models; all models incorporate the product improvements pre-
viously evaluated on the M151A2 vehicle. The most significant of the

product improvements are the 1-piece windshield, deep-dish steering wheel,

mechanical fuel pump, and trailing arm rear suspension. The vehicle is
powered by a 4-cylinder, water-cooled, gasoline engine, a 4-speed forward
transmission, and selective front wheel drive. The body is of unitized
construction. The vehicle is designed for use over all types of roads as
well as cross-country terrain, and in all weather conditions.

3. OBJE)IVTE:

The objective was to provide evidence of contractor conformance to

specified sections of MIL-T-OO45331E, 23 January 1970, and related re-
quirements as outlined in AMC form 1006A, 16 March 1972.

4. SUN4ARY OF RESULTS:

One M151A2 vehicle, USA Reg. No. NB004A, was received from the contractor's
plant, via commercial carrier, on 24 May 1973 in an acceptable condition
in accordance with applicable shipping procedures.

An initial inspection was performed on the vehicle to assure a safe operat-

ing condition. All on-equipment materiel (OEM) was inventoried, checked
for fit, and installed on the vehicle for the duration of the test. The
vehicle was received less the vehicle curtain, folding top, quarter, and
back, FSN 2540-064-6587. The shortage of this GFE item was annotated on
the receiving document (DD Form 250), and therefore is not a chargeable
shortcoming.

Initial lubrication was performed in accordance with LO 9-2320-218-12.

The engine and gear boxes were checked and all lubricant levels were sat-
isfactory. All grease fittings were lubricated.

Upon completion of initial inspection and lubrication, five test radial

tires and wheels were installed and 100 mile of break-in mileage was
accomplished. The test tires and wheels were removed and original tires
and wheels reinstalled for the conduct of noise spectra test, Ref. Letter,
AMSTA-QST, 8 March 1973,and specified performance tests.

After completion of all performance tests the test tires, and wheels were
reinstalled for remainder of test. Remaining break-in mileage (420-miles) "

was accomplished on paved road, at curb weight per instructions contained

in TM-9-2320-28-IO. This mileage is included in the total prescribed
endurance mileage.

The load distribution at curb, with cross-country, and highway payloads

was determined by use of portable scales at each wheel position. The
payload consisted of sand-filled canvas bags and boxes. Specified cross-
country payload was 800 pounds. Specified highway payload was 1200
pounds. Load distribution was as shown in Table I.

Three significant incidents were experienced during the endurance test.

The lower right front suspension arm rear mounting cap screw loosened, re-
sulting in the loss of one shim. The shim was replaced and all mounting
cap screws were retorqued as prescribed in T4-9-2320-218-34 (Ref. Incl 2,
Page 1). The upper radiator insulator assembly fractured through the
front mounting screw; the insulator assembly was replaced (Ref. Incl 2,
Page 2) and the right rear outboard suspension arm bushing was worn and
replacement was necessary after 3000 test miles (Ref. Incl 2, Page 2).
The vehicle was forded in 21 inches of water, without incident, upon com-
pletion of the test miles.

Fuel consumption data are included in Inclosure 1, Page 26.

Upon completion of all testing a final inspection of the vehicle was per-
formed. A limited teardown and inspection of the engine, power train,
brake, suspension, and electrical systems was accanplished. The radial
test tires and wheels were removed fron the vehicle and original tires
and wheels reinstalled on the vehicle. The test tires and wheels are
stored in the warehouse awaiting instruction fron AMSTA-RKW.

No significant incidents were experienced as the result of final inspec-

tion.

The vehicle was restored to code "B" condition, given a technical inspec-
tion, painted, lubricated, and returned to supply channels.

5. CONCLUSIONS:

It is concluded that:

a. Quality of workmanship at the time of manufacture was satisfact-

ory.
b. Vehicle performance requirements were
met with the exception of
maximum speed and radio interference suppression requirements within the
frequency spectrum tested.

c. Vehicle endurance was satisfactory, except the lower right front

suspension arm cap screws loosened, the upper radiator insulator assembly
fractured, and the right rear outboard suspension arm bushing was worn.

1. OBJECTIVE
To measure and determine if the radiated and conducted electromagnetic
interference (DII) emission levels from the Truck, Utility, 1/ Ton,
4X4, Model K151A2, Serial No. NBOA-26801, USA Reg No. NB004A, and its
electrical accessories are within the specified allowable limits of
MIL-STD-461A for Class IIIa equipment.

2. CRITERIA

Radiated and conducted DII emissions from the complete vehicle including
its electrical accessories shall not exceed the specified allowable
limits of MIL-STD-61A for Class IIIa equipment.

3. MM'OD
Spectrum Surveillance System Model FSS-250D, Serial No. 33, is used to
collect and record the radiated and conducted 1I emission measurements.

A list of associated ancillary equipment used in conjunction with the

Spectrum Surveillance System FSS-250D is give in Inclosure I.
The radiated emission subtests are performed in accordance with the
methods for Subtest REO5 outlined in NIIrSTD-h62 over the frequency range
from 150 klz to 1000 MHz. The antennas are individually oriented one meter
above ground level and one meter from the front, left and right sides
of the vehicle engine compartment. The Biconical Antenna BIA-25 IG
alternately polarized horizontally and vertically to obtain measurements
over the frequency range from 25 to 200 MHz.

The conducted emission subtests are performed in accordance with the

methods for Subtest CE03 outlined in MIL-STD-462 over the frequency
range from 150 kHz to 50 MHz. The Current Probe PCL-25 is clamped alter-
nately around the positive (+) and negative (-) power cables at the
vehicle battery.

Operation of the test vehicle during simultaneous operation of one or

more of the electrical subsystem during the radiated and conducted DI
emission subtests is established as shown in Table I.

Radiated and conducted B4 emission subtests of the windshield viper motor,

directional signal/4-way flasher and electric horn assembly relay are
made with the vehicle engine inoperative. The electric horn assembly relay
is actuated approximately 60 times per minute to obtain measurements of
switching transients, if any.

emission measurements could not be made over the frequency ranges from

0-42 db above specification limits, with exception of the radiated emission
subtests of the electric horn assembly. It was possible to masure the

because the magnitude of these emissions exceeded the R? ambieat noise

5. ANALYSIS

Although other accessories and/or subsystems failed the radiated and/or

conducted EMI emission subtests, the electric horn assembly appeared to
be a commercially available off-the-shelf item. It contained no apparent
RF interference suppression treatment.

Although the vehicle ignition and battery charging systems were operating
simultaneously during performance of radiated and conducted emission tests
of these accessories, it was quite evident by the nature of the emissions
measured that they were being produced by the battery charging system.

13. ABSTRACT

A comparison test of one truck, utility, i/-ton, xk, M151A2, was conducted by the
Materiel Testing Directorate at Aberdeen Proving Ground from 24 May to 2 July 1973.
Testing vas conducted in accordance with military specification NIL-T-0045331E.
Quality of workmnship at the time of manufacture was satisfactory. Vehicle
perfolnnce requirements vere met with the exception of radio interference suppression
and maximum speed requirements. Vehicle endurance was satisfactory, except the
lower right front suspension arm capserews Icosened, the upper radiator insulator
assembly fractured, and the right rear outboard suspension arm bushing was worn.
