NG-NRMM: Next Generation NATO Reference Mobility Model
We are delighted to announce that Dr. Ole Balling will be joining us for an ISTVS Digital Event to discuss his work on NG-NRMM: Next-Generation NATO Reference Mobility Model.
Dr. Balling’s research interests include vibration, multibody dynamics, on- and off-road vehicle dynamics, flexible multibody dynamics, and discrete element and classical terramechanics modelling with a focus on verification and validation. Applications in the areas of wind energy systems on- and off-shore, 2- and 4-wheeled vehicles to multi-axle combination vehicles, tracked vehicles, and emerging propulsion systems in both the civil, commercial, military and agricultural sectors. The research work provides the basis for Dr. Balling’s presentation.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Dr. Ole Balling is a Professor (Docent) at Aarhus University, Denmark, at the Department of Mechanical and Production Engineering. Dr. Balling’s areas of research are in vehicle dynamics, terramechanics, multibody systems, vibration, and machine dynamics and the verification and validation thereof. The areas of application range from digital twins of wind energy systems, on-road high performance road vehicles, trucks, buses, and motorcycles to off-road agricultural and military wheeled and tracked vehicles. Recently, his focus has been on the necessary resolution modelling and simulation of the vehicle/soil interaction and the verification and validation of the vehicle terrain system for mobility estimation and the usage of this in route planning for manned and unmanned vehicles. The latest work is in autonomous vehicle stack development for off-road vehicles.
After receiving his PhD from Iowa State University in 2004 under the guidance of Professor James Bernard, Dr. Balling worked 3 years at California-based Systems Technology, Inc., in the ground vehicle group with responsibilities related to vehicle testing, modelling, and simulation in a variety of vehicle limit performance investigations. In 2007, Dr. Balling joined the Danish based Idé-Pro Engineering and Software Company as a specialist in multibody simulation for customers in wind, aerospace, and the off-road mobile vehicle segment. In 2010, Dr. Balling joined Aarhus University. By approval of the Danish Defense, Dr. Balling served on the NATO Science and Technology Organization’s AVT-CDT-308-2 as a co-chair and is currently a technical team member and the Aarhus University demo team organizer in AVT-341 (Mobility Assessment Methods and Tools for Autonomous Military Ground Systems). He has served as a technical team member and thrust area lead on AVT-248 and AVT-327 and a demo team lead on AVT-308-CDT-1.
Dr. Balling is a member of ASME and a 28-year member of SAE. He has served on the SAE Vehicle Dynamics Standards Committee as a voting member since 2002.
