Online Military Vehicle Technology & Mobility (Advanced)

What makes military vehicles capable of tackling the world’s harshest battlefield environments? The engineering science behind their design extends far beyond raw power—it’s all about optimizing mobility, firepower, and protection.

This 40-hour on-demand course provides essential knowledge and skills shaping the design and operation of modern combat, logistic, and amphibious vehicles. Over 12 expertly delivered modules, students learn in-depth about the engineering science and essential mobility technologies needed to maximize military vehicle battlefield performance and mission success in diverse operational environments.

Leveraging the latest research and technological advancements, students explore the four fundamental and integrated subject areas of military vehicle design, automotive performance, vehicle dynamics, and vehicle mobility. The course also covers the specialist subject areas of amphibious vehicle design, as well as tracked vehicle steering and transmissions. Each module is expertly delivered using engaging presentations, fascinating videos, and interactive quizzes to vividly bring to life the critical operational and technical trade-offs involved in complex military vehicle project definition, design, and development.

This course is specifically designed for engineers, capability developers, project managers and acquisition specialists seeking a technical foundation in military vehicle design.

Students gain access to a comprehensive digital course folder, detailed presentation slides, and curated course readings—ensuring students have the resources needed to reinforce learning and apply best practices long after course completion.

Student testimonial: "Overall this is an excellent class.   I have been involved in related tracked platform design work for the last 25 years (plus some wheeled platform design previously).  But this class provided me a comprehensive integrated/organized knowledge base for learning.  It is a wonderful experience and appreciated much!"
