Expanded Service Test of Antilaser Goggles.

Abstract

The expanded service test of the antilaser goggles was conducted by the US Army Aviation Test Board at Fort Rucker, Alabama, from 1 April through 12 September 1972. The purpose of the test was to determine qualitatively the suitability, exclusive of protective capabilities, of the antilaser goggles for use by Army aviators who pilot AH-1G helicopters in intermediate climatic conditions. Fifteen type 1 and five type 2 goggles were received for testing. (Type 2 goggles are to be worn only by individuals wearing corrective lenses.) Testing was conducted, using simulated tactical missions, during daylight hours with the exception of two missions which were flown in darkness.
