P-341 ARMORED UNDERBODY FOR ROAD VEHICLE ABSTRACT An armored underbody for a road vehicle is disclosed as including fabricated armor plate to pro- tect both the vehicle underbody components and the ve- hicle occupant compartment from projectiles such as deflected bullets or shrapnel. A plurality of armor protection plates (16, 18, 20 and 21) of the underbody provide radiator, engine, transmission, and transfer case protection from upwardly directed projectiles. The vehicle occupant compartment floor (22) includes front and rear floor sections (24, 26) of armor plate preferably connected by a laterally extending floor support member (60). A fuel tank (28) of the under- body has a fabricated armor plate construction that prevents puncturing thereof by projectiles. In its preferred construction, the underbody includes a pair of longitudinal frame members (30) spaced laterally from each other and connected by cross frame members (32, 34, 36, 38) that are used to mount the armor protection plates. Floor support member (60) ex- tends laterally between the longitudinal frame members (30) and is supported thereby in order to mount both the front and the rear floor sections (24, 26).
