Definitions

  • the present invention relates, generally, to armored personnel carriers, and, more particularly, to an armored personnel carrier with a generally diamond shaped hull.
  • Armored personnel carriers or armored vehicles are used in a wide variety of applications that require the safe and secure transportation of one or more individuals through dangerous environments.
  • armored SWAT vehicles may be used to transport police officers in tactical situations or armored vehicles may be used to transport individuals in need of high security through dangerous environments.
  • APC will largely be discussed in terms of military applications, however, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that APCs may be utilized in a variety of scenarios.
  • APCs are employed by the military to transport infantry and supplies to and from the battlefield.
  • APCs are generally light armoured vehicles that have little firepower and are designed to move troops quickly and safely.
  • APCs have been designed to withstand small arms fire and shell fragments. Accordingly, the armour on APCs is usually composed of simple steel or aluminium, sufficient only for protection against small arms fire and most shell fragments.
  • the armour of a typical APC will not withstand an attack by most types of anti-tank weapons; in fact, just about any type of anti-tank weapon can defeat the armour of a typical APC.
  • APCs design changes are needed to adapt the APC for use in current war environments, such as in Iraq.
  • One of the greatest threats to APCs in Iraq are the roadside bombs which are being encountered in large numbers.
  • Roadside bombs are typically detonated by a pressure switch that is activated when ran over by an APC or the roadside bombs are remotely detonated when an APC is close to the bomb.
  • Current APCs are not built specifically to withstand attacks by roadside bombs and perform poorly in response to such attacks for several reasons.
  • Current designs of typical APC are particularly vulnerable to bombs that are detonated below the hull of the APC because the APCs were primarily designed to defend against lateral small arms fire.
  • Detonations under the hull can cause serious damage to the undercarriage of the APC, which may have less armourment than the sides of the APC. Additionally, detonations of bombs below the APC may cause the APC to flip over and become immobile.
  • an improved armored vehicle that has a generally diamonded shaped hull.
  • the sides of the diamonded shaped hull are substantially non- vertical surfaces that are designed to minimize the impact of lateral fire on the hull.
  • the diamonded shaped hull directs blast forces emanating from beneath the hull away from the hull of the armored personnel carrier. The deflection of blast forces minimizes the impact that roadside bombs have on the APC and prevent the APC from flipping over from a roadside bomb.
  • the improved personnel carrier includes one or more blast plates that are mounted on the exterior of the hull of the APC which provide an additional layer of protection for the APC.
  • the armored vehicle includes a hull having a generally diamond shaped vertical cross section, the hull comprising a plurality of armored panels and one or more blast plates affixed to an exterior of the hull, wherein the generally diamond shape of the hull deflects energy from sources that are not perpendicular to a hull surface away from the hull to minimize damage to the hull.
  • the armored vehicle includes a lower portion including a first and second lower armored panel, wherein the first and second lower armored panels are disposed at an angle ranging from approximately twenty-five degrees to seventy-five degrees from vertical and a upper portion including a first and second upper armored panel, wherein the first and second upper armored panel are disposed at an angle ranging from approximately twenty-five degrees to seventy-five degrees from vertical.

Such conditions may relate to unsafe urban situations, police actions, military activities, and battlefields, such as the current situation in Iraq.

  • the APC described herein has a generally diamonded shaped hull, e.g., the sides of the hull are substantially non-vertical surfaces. The angled sides of the hull are designed to minimize the impact of lateral fire on the hull and to reduce the impact of a roadside bomb on the APC.

  • the sloped sides may reduce the likelihood of the APC 100 experiencing direct, close to perpendicular, or ninety degree, impact from incoming fire. Such sloped sides may deflect arms fire and blast forces and reduce the impact on the APC 100.
  • the sloped sides are implemented in a diamond shape that is integrated throughout the APC 100 including, but not limited to the undercarriage, sides, top, front, and rear of the APC.

In exemplary embodiment, armored plates are placed over any cavities or protrusions that otherwise may catch blast forces emanating from below the hull 102.
  • the shape of the hull 102 would deflect the majority of the force from the blast away from the hull 102 such that the damage to the hull 102 would be minimal.
