In view of the airdrop adaptability of a lightweight high-mobility wheeled armored vehicle, the shock vibration of the vehicle's onboard electronic equipment under simulated airdrop was tested and the shock characteristic of the equipment was analyzed. The test results show that the onboard equipment of the airdrop vehicle is mainly subjected to three stages of shock vibration, which includes the crash of the lifting rope, shock of the cushion airbag and the rebound shock. The cushion airbags can effectively reduce the shock acceleration peak of the onboard electronic equipment of the light wheeled armored vehicle, and the shock peak of the onboard computer and power supply is about 9-10 g with the shock duration of 0.15-0.2 s. While compared with the shock of the base, the buffering effect of the isolators to the airdrop shock vibration is not satisfied. Resonances of the isolation system are caused by the airdrop shock and the shock peaks of the tested electronic equipment are higher than that of the base.
