Abstract: An improved modular armor system is disclosed where at least two hooks are sed to hold a modular armor construction in place on a light weight vehicle hull. The hooks may have an associated cushioning means which will help protect the vehicle and crew as well as position the armor.

Abstract: A viewing system for use in low visibility atmospheres, such as fog, rain, snow, dust, smoke, etc., particularly under nighttime conditions. A cyclically-operated pulsed light source illuminates the scene for brief instances. A shutter is operated in synchronism with the light source for transmitting to a human observer (or TV camera) light rays reflected from objects located selected distance intervals away from the light source; light rays from other zones or areas are excluded. By thus excluding light reflections from zones outside the selected distance interval, it should be possible to minimize glare associated with the excluded light, thereby improving the view of objects located within the selected distance interval.
