Abstract: Blast energy absorption system capable of being integrated into the structure of a vehicle having removable, interchangeable, and configurable components adaptable to configure the vehicle for varying mission threats. The blast energy absorption system has a plurality of independent energy absorbing systems including one or more in combination of the following: a floor structure, a housing, cross beam members, adjustable energy absorbing containers, and an understructure. Each component may be an independent reactant system. The integral relationship between the above mentioned components forms a system that absorbs and distributes blast energy to minimize energy transfer to the occupants of the vehicle. Blast energy absorption system is capable of many configurations depending on the threat level of a mission.

Abstract: The present invention in one embodiment provides a door structure that includes a door shell having an exterior panel and an interior panel; an anti-intrusion beam positioned between the interior panel and the exterior panel of the door shell; a hinge end casting positioned at a first end of the door shell connected to a first end of the anti-intrusion beam through the interior panel; a lock end casting positioned at a second end of the door shell connected to a second end of the anti-intrusion beam through the interior panel; and a door hardware module mounted to the exterior face of the interior panel.

Abstract: The modular front end forms the front portion of a motor vehicle. The modular front end includes a bulkhead defining a plurality of integrally formed attachment mounts. A drive train assembly carrying at least an engine of the motor vehicle is attached to the bulkhead at the attachment mounts. A crash energy absorption assembly is attached to the attachment mounts on the bulkhead and generally extends around the drive train assembly. An apron assembly is attached to the bulkhead at the attachment mounts and is generally positioned above the drive train assembly and crash energy absorption assembly.
