Thirty five U. S. Army helicopter crew members evaluated the design features and acceptability of .30 caliber armor-piercing protective armor on practice or actual live-fire aerial missions in South Vietnam. Twenty pilots used Torso Front Protective Armor, and 15 crew chiefs and door gunners used Torso Front Protective Armor, Torso Back Protective Armor and Seat/Groin Protective Units. They rated the following variables: fit, comfort, interference with movement, suitability of outline and contour, acceptability of armor before and after experience with the latest items, desirability of particular items on particular missions and body areas requiring protection.
