On 16 July 2021, the NATO Standardization Office has promulgated the new NATO standard AMSP-06 "Guidance for Standards Applicable to the Development of Next Generation NATO Reference Mobility Models (NG-NRMM)" and the STANREC 4813 that formally recommends its use by NATO and partners. The AMSP-06 standard was developed by the AVT panel under the guidance of the NATO Modeling and Simulation Group (NMSG), the NATO's Delegated Tasking Authority for standardization in Modelling and Simulation domain. This promulgation marks the completion of seven years of work within the AVT panel. The original model, NRMM, was developed in the 1960s and '70s and has been used for decades to predict the capability of vehicles to move over specified terrains and conditions. The new AMSP-06 standard provides recommended open-architecture-based guidance on the key next-generational features that describe the latest methods for mobility prediction in support of operations, acquisition and design. These features and capabilities include: geographic information systems (GIS) map-based input and output, fully 3D vehicle dynamics and terramechanics, uncertainty quantification and a suite of verification and validation benchmarks. NG-NRMM will take vehicle data and GIS-based inputs on the soil and terrain, as well as their uncertainties, and then produce probabilistic maps of trafficability speed and efficiency. NG-NRMM will also serve as the foundation for predicting mobility of off-road autonomous vehicles. Dr. David Gorsich, the U.S. Army DEVCOM GVSC champion of the effort stated, "We established these new NATO Standard Recommendations to better predict off-road mobility for operational planning as well as the acquisition of new ground systems." Contributors to this effort included over 70 representatives from Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Poland, Romania, South Africa, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

AMSP-06 describes the attributes needed by an NG-NRMM compliant model to predict the traversabilty of a vehicle over specified terrain.
Results from an NG-NRMM compliant model from Advanced Science and Automation Corp.
One of the most important outputs from the Next Generation NATO Reference Mobility Model (NG-NRMM) is a data-rich, graphical, map-based representation of terrain types and how well, or poorly, a vehicle can traverse that terrain. In the left image, green-colored terrain represents terrain on which the sample vehicle can move quickly, while darker, redder-colored terrain is slower to traverse. On the right hand side, the NG-NRMM computes a "best path" for vehicles traversing terrain.
