Recently, Army Yuma Proving Ground (YPG) completed a multi-year $605,000 project to fully digitize the newest of the three dynamometers. The modern digital controls improve the precise control of the vehicle’s speed and loads applied to vehicles during evaluations, which means more accurate test data for customers. “The previous analog method was really labor intensive,” said Scott Mackenzie, engineer in YPG’s Engineering Support Branch. “Now it is really simple for one operator to input on a computer screen, when previously it was dials and knobs monitoring all of the different funct
