This article presents the importance of military helicopters and the need to protect them with a ballistic protection system against terrestrial threats. Current ballistic protection systems are in a permanent development by optimizing materials and protective structures and discovering new materials, in order to balance the variety of threats in the theaters of operations and the protection against them. Critical helicopter areas and types of materials used in the development of current ballistic protection systems will be presented.
