摘要

The US Army Aviation Test Board (USAAVNTBD) conducted the product-improvement test of the Pilot's Protective Headgear Retention Device. The purpose of this test was to determine whether the retention device is an improvement over the present nape and chin straps used in the APH-5 Helmet. Twenty of the devices were installed and worn by personnel assigned to the USAAVNTBD. Data were obtained from the crewmembers by questionnaires and personnel interviews. Five deficiencies and three shortcomings were discovered.
