Armoured vehicles are nowadays important part of modern army's equipment. Reliability of armoured vehicles is a key feature in safety of transported staff and goods. Due to high mass of these vehicles there is a real problem with optimal brake systems which should be efficient enough in order to maintain as short as possible braking distance and have acceptable manufacturing and maintenance costs. Except for military use, there is a large market for armoured vehicles civilian use by rich or influential persons, security companies and banks. Civilian use of the armoured vehicles generates problems of moving on public roads with all restrictions for brake systems which are required by law. Brakes verification is a difficult and time consuming process due to many circumstances which must be taken into account during tests. Brake tests should be done on many levels including laboratory tests made on samples, laboratory tests made on fully assembled brakes and finally tests made with use of fully prepared vehicle both in laboratory and in real life conditions. Following work will show selected issues of such test path, which was made by Institute of Aviation Landing Gear Department.
