US Patent:

6462894, Oct 8, 2002

Filed:

Feb 16, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/784354

Inventors:

Scott D. Moody - Merrimack NH

Assignee:

Insight Technology, Inc. - Londonberry NH

International Classification:

G02B 702

US Classification:

359815, 359411

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 users optical axis and permits the other of the first and second channels to be at an angle not coaxial or parallel with the users optical axis. In addition, a multi-function control may be provided to enable adjustment of the monocular subassemblies along one or more orientation axes.

International Classification:

H01J 31/05
H01J 40/14
G02B 23/00

US Classification:

250214VT, 250207, 359407

Abstract:

A night vision goggle system is provided having an image intensifier tube that may be installed or replaced without requiring realignment of the optics. The image intensifier tube is coupled to a first locating feature that is in a predetermined relationship to the optical center of the image intensifier tube. The system includes a second locating feature that interacts with the first locating feature to position the image intensifier tube in a predetermined relationship to an optical component of the night vision system.

Appl. No.:

11/336696

Inventors:

Scott D. Moody - Manchester NH, US

Assignee:

Insight Technology Incorporated - Londonderry NH

International Classification:

H01J 31/50
H01J 40/14
G02B 23/00

US Classification:

250214VT, 250207, 359407

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.

Assignee:

L-3 Insight Technology Incorporated - Londonderry NH

International Classification:

F41G 1/35

US Classification:

362110, 362231, 362259, 362323, 362324, 42 15

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.

International Classification:

H01J 43/30

US Classification:

2502140VT

Abstract:

A fusion night vision system having image intensification and thermal imaging capabilities includes an edge detection filter circuit to aid in acquiring and identifying targets. An outline of the thermal image is generated and combined with the image intensification image without obscuration of the image intensification image. The fusion night vision system may also include a parallax compensation circuit to overcome parallax problems as a result of the image intensification channel being spaced from the thermal channel. The fusion night vision system may also include a control circuit configured to maintain a perceived brightness through an eyepiece over a mix of image intensification information and thermal information. The fusion night vision system may incorporate a targeting mode that allows an operator to acquire a target without having the scene saturated by a laser pointer. The night vision system may also include a detector, an image combiner for forming a fused image from the detector and a display, and a camera aligned with image combiner for recording scene information processed by the first detector.
