正如最近参与伊拉克和阿富汗任务的美国武装部队的经验所证明的那样，装甲军用车辆挡风玻璃和侧窗是一项非常具有挑战性的任务。除了为车辆乘员提供所需的单发和多发弹道保护外，装甲还必须具有并保持光学透明度，并与车载成像和通信设备兼容。此外，标准的低成本和轻重量要求在透明装甲系统的设计和工程中也是至关重要的。目前，透明装甲系统的设计和制造几乎完全使用经验、试错和传统方法来完成。因此，新的透明装甲系统的研制周期很长，成本相当高，而且这些系统的许多缺点只有在部署后才显现出来。为了帮助更好地理解和克服这种情况，提供了基本的透明装甲架构，功能层和透明材料的简要概述和讨论，并提出了一套设计和材料选择指南。(C)2011爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
As evidenced by the recent experience of the US Armed Forces involved in the missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, armoring military-vehicle windshields and side windows is a very challenging task. Apart from providing the required single-hit and multi-hit ballistic protection to the vehicle occupants, the armor must also possess and retain optical transparency and be compatible with on-board imaging and communications equipment. In addition, standard low cost and light-weight requirements are also critical in the design and engineering of transparent armor systems. At the present time, the design and fabrication of transparent armor systems is done almost exclusively using empirical, trial-and-error and legacy approaches. Consequently, new transparent armor system development lead times are long, the costs are quite high and many shortcomings of the systems become apparent only after they have been fielded. To help better understand and overcome this situation, a brief overview and discussion of the basic transparent armor architectures, functional layers and transparent materials is provided and a set of design and material selection guidelines is proposed.
