Introduction

This report documents a survey of the spectral and luminoustransmittance characteristics of transparencies (windscreens)used in currently fielded U.S. Army rotary-wing aircraft (AH-lCobra, AH-64 Apache, CH-47 Chinook, OH-6 Cayuse, OH-58A/C/DKiowa, TH-67 Creek, UH-I Iroquois, and UH-60 Black Hawk [Figures1-10]). These characteristics are essential to addressing issuesrelated to aviator and crewman visual performance. In addition,spectral transmittance characteristics impact the performance ofhelmet-mounted imaging systems, such as the AN/AVS-6 Aviator'sNight Vision Imaging System (ANVIS).

Previous investigations of the optical characteristics ofU.S. Army rotary-wing aircraft transparencies (Chiou, 1975, 1976;Chiou, Park, and Moser, 1976; Crosley, 1968) may no longer berepresentative of currently fielded transparencies. Manufact-urers of U.S. Army aircraft transparencies often change with eachprocurement contract. Appendix A provides a list of currentmanufacturers.

The survey was conducted in two phases. In the first phase,samples of windscreens from each aircraft type were evaluated inthe laboratory for photopic (day) and scotopic (night) luminoustransmittance. The spectral transmittance of each sample alsowas measured.

Installed transparencies are exposed continuously to theenvironment, collision with airborne particulate matter, and theabuses which often accompany aircraft maintenance. Therefore, toprovide a more realistic assessment of transmittance values asexperienced in the field, a second phase consisting of fieldmeasurements of photopic luminous transmittance for windscreensinstalled on aircraft on the flight line was conducted.

The laboratory measurements were taken on new (or notpreviously used) transparency samples. Due to limitedavailability of such transparencies, only a single sample of eachforward windscreen could be obtained for each aircraft type. [Anexception to this was the inability to obtain any frontwindscreens of the OH-6 or the right front windscreen for the UH-60.] Therefore, the data reported herein should be consideredonly representative of transparency performance. Fieldmeasurements (photopic transmittance only) were made on sixaircraft per type.

requires attack type aircraft to have an average luminoustransmittance of not less than 80 percent when measured at normalangles of incidence to the surface. Other aircraft are requiredto have an average luminous transmittance of not less than 60percent when measured at normal angles of incidence to thesurface.

During day flights, pilotage and other external tasks areprimarily accomplished by naked eye viewing through thewindscreens and windows. However, current U.S. Army doctrinerequires pilots and crewmen to perform missions successfullyduring periods of low illuminance, e.g., at night and in foulweather. To achieve acceptable performance under theseconditions, devices based on the principle of image intens-ification are used in the cockpit and crew areas. The mostprominent of these devices is the ANVIS. This night visionsystem has a spectral response of 450-950 nanometers (nm) with anenhanced sensitivity from 625-900 nm (MIL-L-85762A). Windscreensand windows must provide adequate spectral transmittance overthis latter spectral range to optimize ANVIS performance.

MIL-W-81752A(AS) states the windshield shall be (ANVIS)compatible over the wavelength range of 600-900 nanometers.

Methodology

Spectral transmittance

Spectral transmittance data were obtained in a darkenedlaboratory using an EG&G Gamma Scientific* model C-9 spectralscanning system and a model RS-I tungsten source. Spectro-radiometric data were measured over the wavelength range of 350-950 nanometers in 5-nm steps for the reference tungsten sourcealone and for each transparency sample/source combination. Thetransmittance curves were obtained by performing a division, bywavelength, of the transparency/source combination data by thesource data.

A sample of the left front windscreen was measured in eachaircraft with side-by-side seating. A lower front windscreensample was measured for the attack aircraft, which have tandemseating. In order to minimize scratching of the unusedtransparencies during measurement, the protective sheeting wasremoved from as small an area as possible. Therefore,measurements were taken at arbitrary and different points on eachsamples. [Note: This was not considered to be a relevant factorsince an investigation of several samples showed a variation ofless than 5 percent across the sample. A similar investigation

*See Appendix B.

of the effect of slant (deviation from normal) also showed avariation of less than 5 percent.] Settings of 900 voltsphotomultiplier tube anode voltage and 1-degree aperture size onthe collection optics were used.

Luminous transmittance

Photopic and scotopic luminous transmittance values weremeasured in a darkened laboratory using a Photo Research* model1980A photometer and EG&G Gamma Scientific model RS-l tungstensource. Following a prescribed warm-up period for the photometerand the reference lamp, luminous transmittance measurements weretaken for each sample using the photopic and scotopic filtersintegral to the photometer. Each measurement consisted ofreading the luminance of the reference lamp, placing therespective transparency sample normal to the optical path, andtaking a second luminance reading. The transmittance wascalculated by dividing the luminance value obtained of thesample/source combination by the value obtained of the sourcealone. Three readings were obtained for each sample. The meanof these three values was calculated and reported.

Field measurements

Field measurements of photopic transmittance values wereacquired for six of each aircraft type on flight lines at U.S.Army airfields at Fort Rucker, Alabama. [Note: An exception wasthe OH-58C aircraft, where only four aircraft were measured.]Measurements were made using an EG&G Gamma RS-1 tungsten sourcepowered by a field generator and a Minolta* 1-degree apertureluminance meter. Each measurement consisted of reading theluminance of the reference source alone and reading the referencesource luminance from a position of the left seat for aircraftwith side-by-side seating and from the front seat of aircraftwith tandem seating. The transmittance was calculated bydividing the value obtained from the cockpit by the value of thesource alone.

Data

Spectral transmittance

The transmittance curves for the windscreen sample areprovided in Figures 11-18. The samples from AH-64 (except aftwindscreen), CH-47, UH-i, and UH-60 aircraft were of glasscomposition. The AH-I, OH-58A/C/D, and TH-67 samples were ofacrylic composition. All samples were of "clear" material exceptfor the TH-67, which had a bluish tint.

The spectral curves in Figures 11-18 correspond to thedescriptions above. The curves for the A H-I, OH-58, and TH-67samples demonstrate the spectral transmittance characteristics ofacrylic materials. These include an ultraviolet cut-off between350-380 nm and excellent spectral neutrality (flatness oftransmittance) over the visible spectral range 400-780 nm. Theseacrylic windscreens also provide high, relatively flat, trans-mittance over the spectral response range of the ANVIS, 450-930nm. The TH-67 sample has a deviation from neutrality over therange 560-780 nm (Figure 16). This decrease in transmittance ofthe red wavelengths produces the bluish color of the tint.

The glass samples of the AH-64, CH-47, UH-1, and U1H-60 alsoprovide a relatively neutral transmittance over the measuredspectral range with a similar UV cutoff around 360 nm, butpresent some relative falloff in transmittance beyond 600 nm.This is of little significance to naked eye vision, which peaksat 550 nm. It also has little effect on ANVIS performance, whichhas enhanced sensitivity over the spectral range of 625-900 nm.

Note 1: The OH-6, while not available for laboratorymeasurement of spectral transmittance, is manufactured fromacrylic material and should have optical characteristics similarto the AH-i, OH-58A, and TH-67 samples.

Note 2: The apparent increase of transmittance below 360 nmpresent in the curves is an artifact of the collection optics andspectral sensitivity of the spectroradiometer.

Luminous transmittance

Clear glass materials typically provide 80 to 92 percentphotopic luminous transmittance; acrylic typically provides 85 to92 percent (IES, 1984). The photopic and scotopic luminousvalues obtained in the laboratory measurements are presented inTable 1. The photopic values ranged from 73 to 93 percent;scotopic values ranged from 81 to 91 percent. When the TH-67tinted samples are excluded, the photopic values for the glasssamples ranged from 82 to 88 percent and the values for theacrylic samples ranged from 90 to 93 percent. The lowestphotopic values, 73 and 77 percent, were for the tinted TH-67samples.

The scotopic values generally tracked within a fewpercentage points of their corresponding photopic values. Thiswas due to the flatness of the transmittance properties of glassand acrylic. The exception, as noted, of the TH-67 samples andtheir attenuation of red light produced higher scotopic values.

19

Based on the laboratory measurements, all of the testedwindscreen samples met the requirements of MIL-W-81752A(AS).

4The photopic luminous transmittance values obtained for

flight line aircraft are presented in Table 2. These valuesranged from 58 to 84 percent.

ranged from 10 percent for the UH-1 to 37 percent for the OH-58C(curved). The mean percent decrease was 18 percent. (If therelatively large percent decrease value of 37 for the OH-58C isexcluded, the mean percent decrease was 15 percent.) Severalfactors attributed to this decrease. As would be expected underfield conditions, the windscreens were dirty both inside andoutside. In addition, because the field measurements were

22

taken at night, condensation and fogging also were present invarying degrees. These factors, while contributing, areconsidered secondary to the effects of haze resulting from thehighly abraded external surfaces of the windscreens. Figure 19shows an example of an AJI-64 windscreen having a significantlevel of abrasion.

Summary

All of the windscreen samples (except for the tinted TH-67)were found to be spectrally neutral over the visible spectrum.Likewise, all samples indi-ated sufficient spectraltransmittance over the spectral range required for optimalperformance of ANVIS.

For luminous transmittance, all of the unused samplesmeasured in the laboratory met the requirements of MIL-W-81752A(AS). However, an analysis of the field measurements of

luminous transmittance, while qualified by the small sample size,shows significant decreases in transmittance for all windscreentypes. These decreases are considered to be caused by hazeresulting rrom the physical abuse to which the windscreens aresubjected.

The governing specifications require attack aircraft to havean average luminous transmittance of not less than 80 percent andnonattack aircraft to have not less than 60 percent. Allwindscreen samples met this requirement in the laboratorymeasurements. However, based on field measurements, neitherattack aircraft, the AH-l or AH-64, met the 80 percentrequirement. The OH-58C curved windscreens, with a mean value of58 percent, failed to meet the 60 percent requirement fornonattack aircraft. The conclusion which can be drawn from thisstudy seems to be that all windscreen samples meet thespecification for luminous transmittance upon delivery, butduring usage degrade in performance. Since data were notavailable to correlate performance degradation with length ofservice, it is not possible to formulate a recommendation on howoften to replace the windscreens. However, it is obvious fromthe data that in the harsh environments of military flight, theoptical performance of the windscreens does degrade below thatrequired by the specification and this situation warrants apolicy of closer inspection at the unit level.
