A large field of view and the corresponding optical characteristics of the ocular are among the most important tactical and technical demands placed upon the designer of protective masks, because these properties directly affect the combat effectiveness of soldiers in conditions where protective mask must be worn in a protective position because of a real radioactive, chemical and biological danger. In terms of stated properties, a new domestic protective mask, marked M3, is expected to match the quality level of modern foreign military protective masks and to be better than the existing protective masks Serbian Armed Forces (SAF) are equipped with. This new mask is in the process of adoption in the armament and military equipment of the SAF. In order to perceive fulfillment of this criterion, this paper presents the experimental results of the comparative tests of the field of view and the ocular optical properties of available samples of foreign and domestic protective masks.
Key words: protective mask, field of view, ocular, optical characteristics, test results, comparative results, NBC protection
