    A desert-tan colored tracked armored fighting vehicle, consistent with an M2 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle, is traversing a paved road in an arid desert environment. The vehicle appears to be in motion, evidenced by dust kicked up behind its tracks. The setting suggests a military training range or testing facility, likely in the American Southwest based on the terrain and vegetation.

    Since last May, U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground (YPG) has been testing Advanced Running Gear (ARG) for potential use on the future NGCV Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle. The ARG system is using an existing Bradley Fighting Vehicle as a surrogate test platform. A robust suspension system is vital for a vehicle that tips the scales at more than 40 tons, and YPG has unparalleled test expertise and hundreds of miles of road courses of various degrees of ruggedness that closely simulates what a Soldier might experience in theater. The novel track and suspension system has already yielded vital insights in evaluations done here.
