Military vehicle

A vehicle, comprising:

• a passenger capsule including a structural shell having a first end and a second end;
• a front module including a first longitudinal frame member, a second longitudinal frame member, and a front axle assembly, wherein the first longitudinal frame member and the second longitudinal frame member extend within a common plane;
• an engine coupled to the front module;
• a rear module coupled to the second end of the passenger capsule and including a rear axle assembly, wherein at least one of the front module and the rear module comprise a breakaway section;
• a transaxle coupled to the rear module and the engine, wherein the transaxle includes a housing that defines a structural component of the rear module, wherein the rear axle assembly includes at least one of an upper control arm, a lower control arm, a spring, and a damper that is directly coupled to the transaxle;
• a lift structure, comprising:
• a first protrusion extending from the first longitudinal frame member and defining a first aperture;
• and
• a second protrusion extending from the second longitudinal frame member and defining a second aperture, wherein the first protrusion and the second protrusion are generally orthogonal to the common plane,
• wherein the first aperture and the second aperture form a pair of front lift points, wherein the passenger capsule includes a second pair of protrusions extending from opposing lateral sides of the structural shell, the second pair of protrusions defining a pair of apertures that form a pair of rear lift points;
• and
• a plurality of interfaces coupling the first longitudinal frame member and the second longitudinal frame member of the front module to the first end of the structural shell such that a lifting force applied to the pair of front lift points is transmitted into the structural shell of the passenger capsule to lift the vehicle,
• wherein the plurality of interfaces are configured to fail during a blast event such that the breakaway section separates from the passenger capsule and dissipates blast energy.
