MODULAR ARCHITECTURE FOR COMBAT TACTICAL VEHICLE

摘要

A combat tactical modular vehicle structure 10 including a center frame module 11 comprising a front bulkhead 16, a cab portion 14, and a rear bulkhead 17 where the center frame module 11 includes an integrated armor so that the integrated armor is a part of center frame module 11 or the center frame module 11 has at least one piece of armor attached to the center frame module 11, a front frame module 12 comprising an engine subframe where the front frame module 12 is connected to the front bulkhead 16 by a plurality of mechanical coupling devices, and a rear frame module 13 comprising a gearbox subframe where the rear frame module 13 is connected to the rear bulkhead 17 by the plurality of mechanical coupling devices for selectively connecting and disconnecting the front frame module 12 to the front bulkhead 16 without substantially affecting the connection and the rear frame module 13 to the rear bulkhead 17 without substantially affecting the connection.
