A brake system damping device includes a first chamber on which hydraulic pressure is to be applied, a second chamber with a compressible medium located therein, and a first separating element configured to separate the first and second chambers. The damping device further includes a third chamber with a compressible medium located therein and a second separating element configured to separate the second and third chambers. The second and third chambers are connected in a medium-conducting manner via a passage in the second separating element. The first separating element is configured to move a closure element to close the passage when the hydraulic pressure in the first chamber has reached a predefined pressure value. The third chamber is formed by the second separating element and a cover. The second separating element is retained on the cover by an interference fit in a fluid-impervious manner.

A military vehicle includes a passenger capsule, a driver seat, a passenger seat, and a belly deflector. The passenger capsule includes a roof, a floor, and sidewalls that define an interior. The sidewalls include mounting interfaces positioned along bottom edges thereof and extending directly therefrom past the floor. The driver seat and the passenger seat are disposed within the interior of the passenger capsule. The belly deflector is positioned beneath the floor. The belly deflector has lateral ends that are coupled to the mounting interfaces such that the lateral ends of the belly deflector are engaged with the passenger capsule. The belly deflector is spaced from the floor such that the floor is configured as a floating floor. The floor and the belly deflector provide two levels of underbody protection.

A military vehicle includes a passenger capsule having a front end and a rear end, a front module coupled to the front end of the passenger capsule, a rear module coupled to the rear end of the passenger capsule, a generator, and an export power kit. The front module includes a front subframe, a prime mover, a front axle assembly, and a front differential coupled to the front axle assembly. The rear module includes a rear subframe, a rear axle assembly, and a transaxle coupled to the rear axle assembly, the prime mover, and the front differential. The generator is configured to be driven by the prime mover to generate electricity. The export power kit is coupled to the generator and configured to facilitate exporting power off of the military vehicle.

A military vehicle includes a brake positioned to facilitate braking a tractive element, a brake housing defining an inner volume, a piston separating the inner volume into a first chamber and a second chamber, a rod extending through an end of the brake housing and coupled to the piston where the rod is positioned to selectively engage with the brake to inhibit movement of the tractive element, a resilient member positioned within the inner volume and configured to generate a biasing force against the piston such that the rod is biased into engagement with the brake, and an air-to-hydraulic intensifier coupled to the brake housing. The air-to-hydraulic intensifier is configured to receive a supply of air and provide a hydraulic fluid to the brake housing based on the supply of air to overcome the biasing force to disengage the rod from the brake to permit movement of the tractive element.
