ABSTRACT:
An armored hatch cover for a combat vehicle which covers the hatch opening in the vehicle turret is pivotally mounted between an open position which provides essentially circumferential direct observation from the hatch and a closed position in which the cover seats upon a margin in the turret, sealing the hatch opening. In the open position the cover protects the hatch opening and forms a small annular gap between the lower part of the cover and the margin to allow circumferential observation. The cover has a downwardly extending front part which provides additional front armor protection when in a closed position.
