Lightweight Flight Deck Armor System
ArmorShield14, is certified in accordance's below by an independent lab.
Testing was conducted in accordance with the provisions of FAA Advisory Circular Number 25.795-2, dated January 10, 2002, using calibers .44 Magnum, 240 grain, JHP and 9mm Luger, 124 grain, FMJ ammunition. The test samples were rigidly positioned on an indoor range 16.4 feet from the muzzle of a test barrel to produce zero degree obliquity impacts. Photoelectric lumiline screens were positioned at 6.5 and 11.5 feet which, in conjunction with the elapsed time counters (chronographs), were used to compute projectile velocities 9.0 feet forward of the muzzle. Penetrations were determined by visual examination of a 0.020 inch thickness alloy 2024T3 aluminum witness panel positioned 6.0 inches behind, and parallel to, the test samples. Table I presents a summary of the attached data records. |
