LETS TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT JUST SOME OF THEIR PRODUCT OFFERINGS... 

UNIVERSAL SHROUD LIGHT

"When darkness becomes light - the Universal Shroud Light keeps you hidden until you wanna be seen." - Norotos

The Norotos Universal Shroud-Light is an integrated Multi-Light & Power System that mounts directly to the front of the helmet thereby providing the user with direct center focused lighting while eliminating the need for auxiliary side mounted lights - reducing weight, encumbrances, snag hazards, and additional unnecessary equipment.

The Universal Shroud-Light is an enhanced version of the Norotos Universal Shroud that is compatible with nearly all helmets and renown for reliable stability (ref. NSNs 5855-01-569-7751 [Tan] and 5855-01-569-7729 [Black])

Evolving from the Anti-Wobble fortitude of Norotos’ Universal Shroud, the Universal Shroud-Light embeds a source of light into this already reliably robust platform. Enhancing previous conceptions of night vision shroud performance capacity, two banks of centrally focused lights consist of four white LEDs and two LEDs of each blue and red. This configuration provides an optically centered light pattern from the front of the helmet—eliminating the uncomfortable neck positions and continual beam adjustment of side mounted lighting systems.

Powered with a single AA battery integrated into its lower portion, the Universal Shroud-Light provides approximately 4 hours of white light at maximum brightness, followed by an automated step-down period providing a total of 14-plus hours field use. User may adjust light intensity from 4% to 100%. Low intensity significantly extends battery life and minimizes the potential for light detection by hostiles.

Avoiding break or snag potential, 2 low-profile contoured buttons located above lights provide controls for both light intensity, color selection, and safe on/off. User may quickly program which color light initially activates, always at the discrete low setting. Intelligent controllers warn the user via discrete flash alerts and light intensity reduction as battery exhaustion proceeds. While red lights will not degrade users' night vision and minimize possible detection, blue lights ensure clear fluid identification, ideal for combat medics.

WHAT ARE THE FEATURES OF THE UNIVERSAL SHROUD LIGHT?

• Aerospace Quality Aluminum Alloy & High-Strength Impact Resistant Polymers enhance performance & durability, including water & chemical resistance
• Optically Aligned Integrated Shroud Lights follows users’ vision to illuminate eye placement

INVG HYPER HELMET MOUNT

The INVG HYPER Helmet Mount combines the uniqueness of 360-degree clockwise or counterclockwise rotation with a durable ruggedness—becoming the ideal complement for versatile field use, providing multiple and immediate positioning to left-eye or right-eye use and corresponding stow positions.

It is designed to allow the user to choose from six (6) different stow positions, excellent for task-specific operations with available interchangeability between DOVETAIL and HORN style NVGs.

With Force-to-Overcome design, the INVG HYPER further maximizes safety through the Sweep-Away function that absorbs lateral-force impacts to NVG, “sweeping-away” as it rotates, virtually eliminating lateral impact events.

INVG HYPER’s safety ensuring dynamic flexibility provides the added user ability of 180-degree rotational stow positioning (relative to baseline user position) locking helmet mount and NVG thereby protecting the user from impact and forces that typically cause direct helmet mount-NVG-to-face injury

Building on the INVG product line, INVG HYPER features the unique blending of security enhanced resourcefulness and precision manufacturing. In continuing Norotos’ commitment to providing the most stable Anti-Wobble night vision platforms available on the market, INVG HYPER is an ideal product when extended safety and flexibility is paramount.
