Has Anyone Applied Protective Film to a Helicopter Windshield?

What are helicopter windshields made from? Some kind of acrylic, polycarbonate?

I've seen several severely damaged by a bird strike, hail, foreign object.... or just pushed in the wrong place. So, not much protection for occupants?

Now I know that race teams apply protective films, such as clear Armourfend, to windshields to reduce stone damage and provide extra driver protection.

Saw one at the weekend and the cost is apparently less than £100.

Is this viable for a helicopter windshield?
