1. Team D Down select Criteria Ratings and Requirements Adam Coursin Aaron Longstreet Jerrod Kappers John Schultz Mitchell Lerche Varun Kaushik

2. Anti-Tamper Rating: 2.4 (important) Reasons: –Pros: Soldier proof for enemy tampering as well as non enemy tampering. –Cons: Could possibly prolong the time it takes to service the burro with an anti-tamper in place. Take unnecessary time to design and manufacture.

3. Fording Depth Rating: 2.1, (very important) –Pros: Easy to design and manufacture. Adds a tremendous amount of mobility to the unit. –Cons: Water proofing of electronics/possibly alternate energy source, this also adds unnecessary weight.

4. Lights Rating: 3.0 (somewhat important) –Pros: Able to be used on Highways/Interstate Easy to manufacture. Could enable the unit to be towed on the road. –Cons: Low highway usage, making lights unnecesary. Additional power sink. Has the potential to short the units power cell or other key systems.

5. Preparation (walk up use) Rating: 2.2(Very important) –Pros: Ease of use can save important time. Saves time and money for training personnel to use and operate the unit. –Cons: Will cost more time and money to design an easier to use system.

6. Safety (Shutdown) Rating: 1.6(Critical) –Pros: Saves lives, keeps the unit under control. Able to shutdown the engine or alternative energy source in case of leaks or other problems. –Cons: Adds cost to the overall unit, as well as time and money to manufacture.

7. Thermal Signature Rating: 2.6(Important) –Pros: The ability to mask it’s thermal signature will make the unit more covert. –Cons: More time and money to implement thermal imaging masking. Some level of difficulty in masking a thermal signature.

8. Vehicle Profile Rating: 2.0 (Very important) –Pros: If you can decrease the size parameters of the vehicle, you increase the mobility and stability as well as make the vehicle more covert. –Cons: If you decrease the vehicle profile, you decrease payload capacitance, as well as ground clearance.
