Korean-peacekeeper's transparent armors in Iraq showed delamination, cracking and clouding a decade ago. And there were also similar deterioration recurrences in KLTV during the operational test a few years ago. Also, the differences between operational capability & lab Bullet-proof test condition, and insufficiency of military protection spec resulted in incomplete bullet-proof results. Moreover, although so many ground weapon systems have been developed, there were not secure test & evaluation codes to verify transparent armoured glasses equal to advanced-overseas products. So in this study, first, environmental test codes were established that all tests should be carried out as the application of only one specimen with newly adopted thermal shock test instead of completing each test with different one. Second, protection standards were integrated through the analysis of global developed country's specifications and reinforced as adding to the real mock-up condition if vehicle's glasses are smaller than standard specimen. Hereby, by applying to test-codes which including actual operational & vehicular conditions, the gap between development test and operational environment was minimized.
