  • Floating floor assembly for armored vehicles
    Patent number: 9027458
    Abstract: A floating floor assembly for an armored vehicle mounted to the sides of the vehicle to suspend the floor above the belly armor of the vehicle rather than being directly supported by the belly armor. The floating floor reduces the amount of energy that is transferred by the floating floor from the belly plate and further reduces the risk that any deformation of the belly armor from the explosion will cascade to the floating floor causing the floor to buckle or fragment into secondary shrapnel.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 7, 2012
    Date of Patent: May 12, 2015
    Assignee: BAE Systems Land & Armaments, L.P.
