Ballistic protection system for military helicopters
Scientific Bulletin of Naval Academy, 2019 This article presents the importance of military helicopters and the need to protect them with a ballistic protection system against terrestrial threats. Current ballistic protection systems are in a permanent development by optimizing materials and protective structures and discovering new materials, in order to balance the variety of threats in the ...
