CONSTRUCTION OF BALLISTIC MATERIAL SAMPLES FOR AIRCREW ARMOR SYSTEMS

Abstract

The report describes the investigative, research and experimental effort necessary to verify the commercial producibility of the aircrew armor configurations developed under the contract. This was a cooperative effort with industry, to identify typical problem areas, solutions and compromises necessary to make such armor producible. Also described and illustrated are the ceramic samples which were fabricated to verify producibility of the armor configurations.
