The program is a continuation of the armor work previously conducted for the first time incorporated significant amounts of high-performance glass/plastic laminated armor in an aircraft. During this earlier program, certain deficiencies in materials and processing were identified which required additional work to resolve. This new effort has attempted to solve these problems while scaling up to a higher threat level. The program was divided into two phases. The first phase included the fabrication of three shipsets of scaled-up, full-size UH-1 windshields. Phase II includes the installation of two sets of windshields on test aircraft at two separate locations in the United States.
