The objective of this thesis is to investigate underbody armor solutions for a Medium Tactical Vehicle (MTV) that mitigate the effects of blast and fragmentation associated with IED events. The first MTV prototype was designed in 1988. The vehicle's sales have grown the MTV fleet to over 56,000 strong consisting of sixteen variations ('FMTV,' 2006). As illustrated by Figure 1, current MTVs are outfitted with the Long Term Armor Strategy (LTAS) cab to enhance occupant protection relative to baseline while enabling the cab configuration to readily change respective of operational requirements via the utilization of Add on Armor (AoA) kits.
