A brake system includes an air-to-hydraulic intensifier configured to couple to a brake actuator that engages a brake to limit movement of a tractive element where the air-to-hydraulic intensifier is configured to receive a supply of air and provide a hydraulic fluid to the brake actuator based on the supply of air to overcome a brake biasing force of the brake actuator to disengage the brake actuator from the brake to permit movement of the tractive element, a hydraulic reservoir coupled to the air-to-hydraulic intensifier, and a valve. The valve includes a first port fluidly coupled to the air-to-hydraulic intensifier, a second port fluidly coupled to the hydraulic reservoir, a third port fluidly coupled to the brake actuator, and a valve gate that is repositionable between a first position that couples the first port to the third port and a second position that couples the second port to the third port.

Military vehicle

A method includes providing a plurality of passenger capsules where each of the plurality of passenger capsules has a frame rail-less monocoque hull structure and the plurality of passenger capsules include (a) a first passenger capsule defining four door openings and (b) a second passenger capsule defining two door openings; providing a plurality of front modules; providing a plurality of rear modules; coupling (a) a first front module to a front end of the first passenger capsule and (b) a first rear module to a rear end of the first passenger capsule to provide a first military vehicle variant; and coupling (a) a second front module to a front end of the second passenger capsule and (b) a second rear module to a rear end of the second passenger capsule to provide a second military vehicle variant.

A military vehicle assembly includes a rear module. The rear module includes a rear frame assembly, a bed supported by the rear frame assembly, a rear tractive assembly, a transaxle supported by the rear frame assembly and coupled to the rear tractive assembly, and a rear suspension system including at least one component extending between a housing of the transaxle and the rear tractive assembly. The rear frame assembly has one or more upper interfaces and one or more lower interfaces. The one or more upper interfaces are configured to detachably couple to a rear end of a passenger capsule of a military vehicle. The one or more lower interfaces are configured to detachably coupled to a bottom of the passenger capsule. The transaxle is configured to couple to a prime mover and a front differential of the military vehicle.

A military vehicle includes a passenger cabin, a front axle, a rear axle, an engine positioned forward of the passenger cabin, a front lift assembly positioned forward of the passenger cabin and providing a pair of front lift points, a rear lift assembly positioned rearward of the passenger cabin and providing a pair of rear lift points, a generator configured to be driven by the engine to generate electricity, and an export power kit configured to facilitate exporting power off of the military vehicle.
