The research on bottom protection technique of military vehicles, the analysis of protection capability and optimization of structure based on numerical simulation, the evaluation of bottom protection capability, the bottom protection strategies and their applications, the technical measures and protection capability of typical vehicles are reviewed. The technical measures which include V-shape bottom hull, tabulate bottom floor made of new type material, interior structure of vehicle and crew restraint systems are expatiated. The application and research status of numerical simulation technology which is used to analyze the protection capability of military vehicle and optimize the bottom structure of vehicle are discussed. The research status of the effects of explosion shock on vehicle and its crew and the test evaluation of the bottom protection abilities of vehicle are analyzed. Simple local protection, locally added protection kits, special protection body with protection kits, and integrated protection solution are summed up. The bottom protection measures and capability of typical vehicles are analyzed. In addition，the future research direction and priorities of bottom protection , and how to develop the protection capability of military vehicles are suggested.
