  2. Acoustic Signature • Rating = 1 (essential) • Justification • Improves BURRO surveillance and stealth capabilities • Create a signature such that it mimics some other natural sound • Minimization of damage to human ears

  3. Drive Redundancy • Rating = 1 (essential) • Justification: • Allows for quiet operation when using alternative fuel power source • Provides additional power source to operate accessory equipment • Provides back-up power in case of failure • Can provide regenerative braking

  4. Ground Clearance • Rating = 2 (Very Important) • Specification: 18 inches • Justification: • Allows for better off-roading capabilities • Allows for better break-over angle • Possibility for increased approach and departure angles • Greater fording depth

  5. Plug Power • Rating = 1 (essential) • Specification: 10-15kW • Justification: • Useful for running accessory equipment on BURRO • Can provide power link to other vehicles • Can be used as optional power station when power is lost at base

  6. Reliability • Rating = 1 (essential) • Justification: • Minimize break-downs and BURRO systems malfunctions • Reduction of maintenance costs • MUST provide reliable support for soldiers • Extended operation life • User confidence in vehicle

  7. Stability/Rollover Resistance • Rating = 1 (essential) • Justification: • Allows for better handling on un-even terrain • Protection of people and equipment on BURRO • Reduction in repair costs • Improves vehicle agility • Compliments design robustness

  8. Tree Knockover • Rating = 3 (somewhat important) • Specification: 3 inch diameter • Justification: • Assume larger vehicles will be in front • BURRO is small support vehicle • Want to keep vehicle weight under control • Allocate funds to “essential” vehicle criteria
