Night Vision Scope Mount

Night Vision Scope Mount must maintain reticle alignment under sustained impulse loading. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is applied to optimize stress paths under cyclic recoil loads. Each interface plane of the Night Vision Scope Mount is precision-lapped to ensure flatness within 5 microns, preventing optic shift due to seating deformation. 

Material Specification

7075-T6 Aluminum (per MIL-A-22771) or 6Al-4V Titanium (per AMS 4928)

Dimensional Accuracy

±0.01mm (critical interfaces), ±0.05mm (structural)

Surface Finish

Ra ≤ 0.8μm (mounting surfaces), Ra ≤ 1.6μm (body)

Hardness Requirement

150-160 HB (Aluminum), 36-40 HRC (Titanium)

Heat Treatment

T6 temper (Aluminum), Annealed (Titanium per AMS-H-81200)

Product Description

Night Vision Scope Mount faces thermal differentials between weapon discharge heat and ambient temperature drops during night operations. Bimetallic material interfaces are eliminated to prevent expansion mismatch. Mount geometry is compensated using matched coefficient-of-expansion alloys to maintain optical axis within tolerance across -40°C to +55°C. 

Tolerance Levels

ISO 2768-mK, ±0.1° angular alignment

Certification Standard

MIL-STD-810G (environmental), ITAR controlled

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)

100% Visual (MIL-STD-2071), 10% random MPI (ASTM E1444)

Corrosion Resistance

Type III Hardcoat Anodized (MIL-A-8625) or Cerakote finish

Weapon Interface Compatibility

MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail compliant

Technical Advantages

Night Vision Scope Mount employs zero-backlash locking levers with spring-preloaded clamping to maintain return-to-zero within ±0.1 MOA across multiple cycles. Mating surfaces are treated with DLC or TiN coatings to reduce surface wear during frequent scope removal under field servicing conditions. 

Night Vision Scope Mount is machined using 5-axis CNC centers with metrology referencing via CMM probing. Angular deviation between optical centerline and barrel axis is controlled under 0.03°, ensuring minimal parallax error for long-range target engagement systems.

Industry Applications

Infantry Rifle Systems

Used to mount image intensifier scopes, maintaining optical zero under high-recoil dynamics and thermal cycling during extended night operations. 

Special Forces Weapon Platforms

Supports rapid optic interchangeability with zero-retention locking for modular targeting systems across diverse mission profiles and environments. 

Sniper Weapon Systems

Enables sub-MOA alignment stability for high-magnification night optics requiring consistent bore-axis referencing across variable ambient temperatures.

Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs)

Mounts stabilized low-light sensors on remote weapon stations, ensuring vibration-resilient optic positioning under mobile or autonomous operations. 

Heliborne Assault Rifles

Withstands high-frequency vibration and shock loads from rotary-wing platforms while retaining optic calibration during rapid deployment. 

Naval Boarding Weapons

Maintains scope alignment in high-humidity, corrosive saltwater environments with enhanced material coatings and rigid mounting under fluctuating pressure conditions. 

High-Frequency Vibration Tolerance

Night Vision Scope Mount is validated through resonance frequency mapping and MIL-STD-810H vibration testing. Retention mechanisms are subjected to random spectrum vibration up to 20 g RMS without fastener loosening or harmonic fatigue, ensuring operational integrity on vehicular and rotary-wing platforms. 

Night Vision Scope Mount integrates self-centering recoil lugs designed for tolerances in both MIL-STD-1913 and STANAG 4694 rails. Lateral play is minimized using dual wedge interface geometry, allowing consistent mounting on cross-compatible weapon platforms without rail modification.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

How does Frigate ensure precision alignment in Night Vision Scope Mount manufacturing?

Frigate uses 5-axis CNC machines with real-time metrology feedback to achieve sub-10 micron dimensional accuracy. Mounting surfaces are inspected using CMM with angular deviation controlled below 0.03°. This ensures optic-to-bore alignment stability across weapon systems. Every mount undergoes fixture-based validation for co-axial referencing. 

What anti-corrosion measures does Frigate apply to Night Vision Scope Mounts for maritime use?

Frigate applies MIL-A-8625 Type III Class 2 hard anodizing, followed by duplex sealing to resist marine corrosion. Salt spray resistance is tested for over 1000 hours per ASTM B117 standards. Surface treatments also include low-IR signature coatings for tactical concealment. These layers protect both material integrity and optical zero retention. 

 

How does Frigate design Night Vision Scope Mounts to handle vibration on combat vehicles?

Frigate conducts harmonic response analysis during design using FEA to locate structural resonance points. Mounts are validated under MIL-STD-810H random vibration up to 20 g RMS. Critical fasteners are torque-tested post-cycling to confirm retention strength. This ensures mounts remain secure on armored and rotary-wing platforms. 

How does Frigate test the load-bearing capacity of cantilevered Night Vision Scope Mounts?

Each design is simulated under static and cyclic loads using FEM to check stress concentration zones. Frigate verifies that deflection remains under 40 microns for 1.5 kg payloads. Real-world testing includes thermal cycling and live-fire shock loads. This confirms long-term rigidity without optic drift. 

What rail systems are supported by Frigate’s Night Vision Scope Mounts, and how is compatibility ensured?

Frigate mounts are engineered to fit MIL-STD-1913, STANAG 4694, and hybrid NATO rails using floating clamp geometry. Self-centering lugs minimize lateral tolerance stack-up. Fitment is verified with rail master gauges during production. Cross-platform compatibility is achieved without modifying host weapon geometry.
