  • Publication number: 20100275496
    Abstract: A weapon mountable aiming system has a multi-laser assembly having a first visible laser pointer assembly, a second infrared laser pointer assembly, and an infrared laser illuminator assembly whose generated light beams extend outwardly through an opening in an actuator used to adjust the divergence of the infrared laser illuminator assembly. The multi-laser assembly being steerable by a set of adjusters in the weapon mountable aiming system to allow alignment of the generated light beams with a point of impact of a bullet with a target.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 7514664
    Abstract: A night vision system has an image intensifier tube that may be installed or replaced without requiring realignment of the optics. A first locating feature may be coupled to the image intensifier tube to align the first locating feature with an input optical axis of the image intensifier tube. A second locating feature may be coupled to the image intensifier tube to align the second locating feature with the output optical center of the image intensifier tube and form an image at a predetermined location along the output optical axis.

  • Patent number: 6462894
    Abstract: There is disclosed a multi-channel panoramic night vision goggle (PNVG) system having two monocular subassemblies, each having a first channel and a second channel, each channel having an optical axis. A mounting structure, having a right and a left side, and having two angled mounting shoes may be used to mount the monocular subassemblies. The angled mounting shoes permit a single monocular subassembly to be attached to either side of the mounting structure, yet permit an optical axis of one of the first or second channels to be substantially coaxial with a user's optical axis and permits the other of the first and second channels to be at an angle not coaxial or parallel with the user's optical axis. In addition, a multi-function control may be provided to enable adjustment of the monocular subassemblies along one or more orientation axes.
