Abstract
The present invention is a driver's hatch for an armored vehicle. The hatch includes a dome hatch for normal operations and a pop-up section. The pop-up section, when in the lowered position allows the cab to freely rotate above it. When in the raised position, the pop-up section allows the driver to look out of the vehicle through transparent armor windows and thus remain under armor protection.
