Aviation Lightweight Armor
Abstract
This effort builds on previous Army science and technology investments in lightweight spaced armor technology for aviation platforms to increase amor protection against worldwide threats while reducing weight, increasing military operating payload for troops, fuel, and munitions. The effort will prototype an advanced armor kit for Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) compatible with the FLRAA platform design.? The prototype armor will be evaluated on the FLRAA mock-up aircraft to validate ballistic performance and compatibility with FLRAA aircraft requirements.
