The evasive manoeuvre test (Swedish: Undanmanöverprov; colloquial: moose test or elk test; Swedish: Älgtest, German: Elchtest) is performed to determine how well a certain vehicle evades a suddenly appearing obstacle. This test has been standardized in ISO 3888-2.
The narrowest J-turn was performed in a Renault Twingo, between barriers set 3.78 metres (12.4 ft) apart.The diagonal length of the car, 3.70 metres (12.1 ft), meant stunt driver Terry Grant had a gap of 4 centimetres (1.6 in) on each side.
At the time of its founding, the school was the largest purpose-built driving school in the world. It featured a 15-turn, 1.6-mile road course, an eight-acre asphalt pad for advanced training with more than 100 race-prepared vehicles. [ 2 ]
Torpedo defence includes evasive maneuvers, passive defense like torpedo belts, torpedo nets, torpedo bulges, and sonar torpedo sensors, "soft-kill" active countermeasures like sonar decoys and sonar jammers, and "hard-kill" active defenses, like anti-torpedo torpedoes similar in idea to missile defense systems.

As it could avoid maneuvers during the initial reentry, it would retain energy and thus be able to maintain powerful maneuvers at lower altitudes, while also travelling faster overall. It was "difficult to conceive of an endoatmospheric ABM which could defend against AMaRV-type vehicles at reasonable cost." [1]
The maneuver is performed by rolling up and away from the turn, then, when the aircraft's lift vector is aligned with the defender, pulling back on the stick, bringing the fighter back into the turn. This maneuver helps prevent an overshoot caused by the high AOT of lead pursuit, and can also be used to increase the distance between aircraft ...
Emergency Manoeuvre (EM) is a maneuver performed by the system in case of an event in which the vehicle is at imminent collision risk and has the purpose of avoiding or mitigating a collision. — Uniform provisions concerning the approval of vehicles about automated lane-keeping systems
Power steering is a system for reducing a driver's effort to turn a steering wheel of a motor vehicle, by using a power source to assist steering. [1]Hydraulic or electric actuators add controlled energy to the steering mechanism, so the driver can provide less effort to turn the steered wheels when driving at typical speeds, and considerably reduce the physical effort necessary to turn the ...
