The US Department of War is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to advance the development and demonstration of sphere brake technology. This project will continue the success of Phase I by modifying a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) advanced braking and suspension system, that has already been proven to be effective, on a sample set of newer commercial vehicles. The focus of this effort will be on refining the overall design to enhance performance, reliability, durability, and manufacturability.
