Research of the modern state of the ballistic protection of aircraft engineering

Abstract

The purpose of the work is to study the state and domestic and international experience in the protection of aircraft technology with the use of advanced innovative technologies in the production of transparent armor. The experience of using Mi-8 helicopters in the anti-terrorist operation on the territory of Ukraine has shown that there was an urgent need to protect the crew of the Mi-8 helicopter by booking his booth through the installation of tempered glass. In solving this issue, one of the most important tasks is to create an optimized system of differentiated local protection that can withstand the impact of small arms with a caliber of 7.62 mm and provide protection against impact by debris of mines and shells. The development of multilayer light-penetrating armor for differentiated booking of the Mi8 helicopter cabin is a relevant and important problem, the solution of which will significantly increase the survivability of the crew when performing assignments. It is established that there are no direct analogues of systems of differentiated transparent protection of aviation glazing of pilot cabins on the basis of basic armored glass elements. As the most probable and massive in modern conditions of warfare is damage by fragments of mines and shells, the protection of which does not require a high level of impact resistance, it allows the use of laminated multilayer structures of polycarbonate and organic glass to reduce the proportion of the system of local aircraft reservation.
