Próby zestawów opancerzenia, projekt polski, potencjalny odbiorca za
oceanem... Może ktoś wie coś więcej na ten temat? Ja, przyznaję, pierwsze
słyszę...

"(...)Covington also views cooperation on the Tomcat panel as a hint of future
possibilities.
"The recent agreement paves the way for the eventual creation of long-term
technical and economic benefits that will produce dividends for both the U.S.
and Poland," said Covington.
His administrative team was recently successful in establishing an agreement
between Poland’s Military Institute of Armament Technology in Zielonka, PZL
and Naval Air Command that would qualify a light-weight, Polish-designed armor
protection package that can be integrated into a helicopter’s structure.
The agreement again extends to U.S.-based small businesses to help with the
qualification and manufacturing program.
Curt Carey, Naval Air Systems Command’s AH-1W Class Desk, would like to see
Covington’s team integrating the protection into the Marine Corps Cobra
helicopter.
He believes their objective could be achieved quickly enough to make a
difference in Iraq.
The team hopes to perform gunfire testing of two materials by the end of the
year, so that follow-on, full-scale qualification testing of the completed
project can occur in early 2006. "
