Technologies to be integrated into the frameless transparency concept under this program include advanced abrasion resistant coatings, mission compatible optics, 500 kt bird impact protection, rapid transparency change-out, and combat hazard protection. The products of this program will be: a validated set of design criteria necessary to combine injection molded frameless transparency technologies as part of an integrated system; the requirements and test criteria necessary to transfer to operational use; a full-scale frameless windshield that has demonstrated the ability to satisfy mission requirements through flight trials, and a full-scale large one-piece frameless canopy that has demonstrated manufacturing scale-up.
