Modern military equipments are tend to be mounted on a movable truck for their survivability and operation performance. Special units and electronic equipments installed on the truck experience the vibration caused by road roughness during their transport. The level of the transportation vibration is affected by both road conditions and vehicle speeds. In this paper, various experiments on the vibration characteristics of the equipment are carried out via road tests. Transportation vibration is also investigated by numerical analysis using FEM, and natural frequencies and random responses of the launcher are obtained. The PSD and RMS values of acceleration of the equipment are predicted and compared with test results.

The new suspension, called ISU(In-arm suspension system) was developed for Infantry Fighting Vehicle. During vehicle field test, early failure of ISU's sealing system was occurred after driving the paved road. From the failure analysis, ISU's displacement data was obtained. In analysis of PSD data, track induced vibration which has high frequency and small amplitude characteristics, was dominant. Such track vibration would result in early seal failure because of friction increase and lack of lubrication. To simulate track vibration environment in laboratory, seals were tested under the condition of 20Hz, ${\pm}1$, ${\pm}2mm$ amplitude. The same type of seal failure occurred in vehicle test, was reproduced in the lab test under ${\pm}1mm$ amplitude. From the test results, the durability of improved seal was increased by 2.5 times compared with the previous one.

An optimal design to improve the ride quality was performed with the time and frequency domain analysis based on both of deterministic and random road profiles. The objective function is established to minimize the absorbed power while the constraints are taken so as to satisfy the condition for the stability of vehicle. The result of the optimal design shows that the rms for the acceleration of a driver and his seat is within the critical values for the ride quality from ISO. The optimal values obtained show that the maximum absolute acceleration of the driver and his seat has significantly been reduced and the reference limits on the relative displacement have satisfied their feasibility. As the optimal value according to a specific speed is the results from the optimization process, a global optimum value should be determined to be the one which gives th minimum values of total sum of absorbed power with respect to various speed.
