Vehicle survivability can be defined as the capability of a vehicle to avoid or withstand natural and man-made hostile environment. The "withstand" or "vulnerability reduction" has been undertaken to new middle tactical vehicle.
To reduce casualities in nonlinear battle field with medium tactical vehicle, this paper finds the interplay between threats and commonly used high hardness armour plate or automotive structure material. Threats are referenced from NATO STANAG 4569. A template for penetration analysis is developed using MSC.Dytran and the results from Dytran is compared to penetration test results. A series of analyses has been conducted to determine the ability of cabin structure and seat base assembly in reducing occupant injuires under blast shock and impact loadings with MSC.Dytran. Results of analyses for the interplay between threats and structure materials of light armoured vehicle, the necessity of improving and the method of protection for SWA(structual weak area) and for floor structure are described
