Research abstract

The KTISIS Infinite Traction System (KITS) is an innovative, patent-pending, standalone, fully-automated, lightweight, and direct bolt-on solution to enhance Army’s survivability by improving their ground vehicles’ maneuverability. The survivability of Army’s ground vehicles largely depends on maneuverability and traction is the foundation of ground vehicles maneuverability because any movement or change in direction or speed requires sufficient traction between the vehicle and surface it is travelling on. KITS will significantly increase the overall vehicle traction and stability by increasing the tires contact force as the vehicle becomes unstable or requires sudden performance increase in cornering, acceleration, braking, climbing, or descending. Consequently, the increase in maneuverability will also enhance survivability.
