A weapon attachment riser system for a weapon includes a riser assembly including a base housing, which defines an interior compartment, and a housing cover secured to the base housing. The base housing is configured to be detachably secured to a powered weapon accessory interface on the weapon and the housing cover is configured to be detachably secured to an accessory device. A circuit assembly includes a flexible circuit substrate disposed within the interior compartment. The circuit assembly includes a first electrical connector configured to detachably engage a complementary weapon rail interface port on the powered weapon accessory interface through an aligned opening in the housing base and a second electrical connector configured to detachably engage a complementary accessory interface port on the accessory device through an aligned opening in the housing cover.

A helmet accessory attachment system comprises first and second ear bracket assemblies and a center shroud assembly, each ear bracket assembly comprising an ear bracket housing having an accessory interface portion. The center shroud assembly comprises a center pulley assembly, ratchet assembly, and a front shroud for coupling a viewing device. Each ear bracket housing has side and rear hook assemblies configured to engage the helmet brim. A front shroud hook assembly is configured to engage the brim. The side and rear hook assemblies attach to a helmet suspension system of the helmet. The ratchet assembly comprises a spool/ratcheting mechanism. A tensioning cable passes along a tensioning path around the central pulleys and peripheral pulleys on the side and rear hook assemblies for drawing the first and second ear bracket assemblies toward the center shroud assembly.

A bridge link battery interface for a helmet accessory mounting system includes a housing enclosing a circuit and an electrical and mechanical coupling interface structured and operable to connect to an attachment point on the helmet accessory mounting system. A first battery interface is configured for detachable coupling to a first battery pack and a second battery interface configured for detachable coupling to a second battery pack. First and second electrical connector assemblies are disposed on the housing and electrically coupled to the circuit, wherein the circuit is operable to selectively electrically couple the first and second battery interfaces to the first and second electrical connector assemblies.

A pivot mount is provided for a secondary optical device which pivots between a stowed position where in the secondary optical device is positioned out of a line of sight of a user and a deployed position, which is aligned with an optical axis of a primary optical device, which allows through sighting of the secondary optic for enhancing operator effectiveness in a variety of conditions. In one aspect, a first pivot mount apparatus is attachable to a primary optical device for selectively positioning a secondary optical device in optical alignment with the primary optical device. In another aspect, a second pivot mount apparatus is attachable to the primary optical device for selectively positioning a tertiary optical device in optical alignment with the primary optical device.

A buffer tube apparatus for a weapon includes an outer tube defining a longitudinal axis, the outer tube having a first end configured to be coupled to the weapon and a second end opposite the first end, the second end configured to be coupled to a stock. A buffer assembly includes a shock absorber and is disposed within the outer tube. The buffer assembly is configured to absorb an impact of recoil generated by the weapon. An adjustment bar is configured to interact with the stock. The adjustment bar is coupled to the buffer assembly and slidable with respect to the outer tube along the longitudinal axis.

A weapon system for a firearm includes a processor, the processor having an associated memory, and an optical reader, the optical reader configured to receive operator-identification information and transmit the operator-identification information to the processor.

A system and method for connecting a weapon-mounted accessory to a computer comprises a first data and power port configured to provide data and power transmission between the computer and the weapon-mounted accessory. The first data and power port is configured to detachably couple to a slot in a slot rail weapon interface. In a further aspect, one or more additional data and power ports are capable of providing data and power transmission between the computer and one or more additional weapon-mounted accessories. Each of the one or more additional data and power ports is configured to detachably couple to a slot in a slot rail weapon interface. The first data and power port and the one or more additional data and power ports are configured to be operably connected to each other to form a serial chain in a custom configuration of data and power ports.

In one aspect, a shroud assembly for headgear comprises a frame having a first side configured to face toward an exterior surface of the headgear and a second side opposite the first side and configured to face away from the headgear, the frame formed of a moldable material. An insert, which is configured for removable attachment to a helmet mount assembly, is coupled to the frame, wherein the frame is overmolded onto the insert. In further aspects, a helmet mounting system and method for the manufacture of a headgear shroud assembly are provided.

A multispectral illumination device includes a main housing configured to be secured to a helmet and an illuminator head comprising a plurality of light sources, the plurality of light sources operable to emit light in multiple spectral regions. A selector is located on the main housing for actuating one or more of the light sources within the plurality of light sources that emit light in a selected one of the multiple spectral regions. A stalk passes through an opening in the main housing and has a first end coupled to the illuminator head and a second end opposite the first end received within the main housing. The stalk is slidable within the opening in the main housing to extend and retract the illuminator head toward and away from the housing, the stalk being slidable between a fully extended position and a fully retracted position.

A battery pack receiver assembly for detachably securing a battery pack to a helmet mounted device comprises a frame comprising a first battery pack engaging feature for engaging the battery pack. An interface plate comprises a second battery pack engaging feature. The frame is slidably coupled to the interface plate and movable between battery pack retaining and releasing positions. A biasing member is configured to bias the frame toward the battery pack retaining position. The frame is manually movable to the battery pack releasing position by a user grasping the battery pack. The second battery pack engaging feature is configured to positively retain the battery pack when the frame is in the battery pack retaining position and disengage with the battery pack when the frame is in the battery pack releasing position. Preferably, the apparatus is configured to permit one-handed battery pack replacement without removing the device from the helmet.
