Product Improvement Test of the Helmet, Flying, Fragmentation Protective (Improved APH-5)

Abstract

The US Army Aviation Test Board conducted a product improvement test of the Helmet, Flying, Fragmentation Protective (Improved APH-5). Although the modifications adversely affected some of the essential characteristics, if the deficiencies are corrected, the helmet, because of its ballistic-resistant nylon construction, will be a significant improvement over the standard APH-5. Of the two types of sizing pads tested, the experimental sizing pad better met the Army requirement. The carrying bag provided more protection than the APH-5 bag and provided space for carrying additional useful items.
