Modeling, validation and firing-onthe- move control of armored vehicles using active front-wheel steering

It is a well-known fact that an armored vehicle will lose its directional stability when firing a large-caliber gun while moving. The instability is caused by the impulse force from firing, acting at the center of a weapons platform that produces a yaw moment at the center of gravity of the armored...
