Abstract: A visor adaptor assembly for use in conjunction with an aviator's helmet pted for supporting a helmet sighting system and night vision enhancement device. A support with vertical slot is adaptable to be mounted on a helmet and further includes a connector partially projecting through the slot with a connector extension coupled to the connector. A visor extension is connected to the connector which is coupled to an aviator's visor and a position adjustment nut is releasably coupled to the connector extension. Manual adjustment of the nut along the vertical slot adjusts the aviator's visor vertically within the support.

Abstract: A multi-cable storage and retrieval device including a housing, multi-cable pool inside the housing, and lockable handle coupled to the spool which projects out one side of the housing. The multi-cable spool includes a spindle with at least two disks centered on the spindle for separating the various cables.

Abstract: A battery holder with a housing with common terminals on a closed end and ng elements on an open end to releasably connect a cap to the housing. A support element and electrical connecting elements allow for the adaptive support of different sized batteries.

Abstract: An assembly for adaptably mounting observation equipment where the assembly s mated to an existing hole pattern on a vehicle. The assembly includes an adapter plate with holes for mating and a clamp ring for releasably mounting observation equipment to the plate. The vehicle may be a High Mobility Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicle and the observation equipment may include night vision equipment.

Abstract: A multiple output wavelength laser and technique for generating multiple put laser wavelengths from a solid state lasing material. The solid state material must be able to lase at multiple nonoverlapping transitions such that there are no losses due to gain competition or divided output power.

Abstract: An interface adapter assembly for adaptably mounting observation equipment. n adapter plate assembly and shield base assembly adaptably mount the observation equipment to an attached mounting. A shield assembly is provided that is coupled to the shield base assembly which protects what is mounted on the shield base assembly.

Abstract: A laser beam is frequency shifted for use in a laser radar ranging system driving a single optical modulator with multiple drivers to produce several frequency shifted drive frequencies. The shifted beam is transmitted to and from a target via an afocal lens. The return reflected beam, which includes phase shifted information is mixed in a detector with the local oscillator frequency to remove the local oscillator frequency. The electrical output from the detector is filtered by bandpass filters and phase detected in a signal processor to obtain range information.
