ABSTRACT:
A suspension system for a tracked vehicle includes a track and an associated wheel assembly a U-track tensioning assembly and a plurality of road wheels are adapted to be disposed adjacent to the surface over which the vehicle is moving and transfer the weight of the vehicle to the surface via the track. A microprocessor is provided to control the track tensioning assembly in response to tensioning signals. In a preferred embodiment, the track tensioning assembly comprises a tensioning wheel which is not a road wheel and a strut connected to the tensioning wheel and operable to apply force to the tensioning wheel, thereby tensioning the track.
