ROTAPOINT 34-Degree Offset Red Dot Mount

Tuesday, July 26th, 2022

Meticulously designed from the ground up to integrate directly with the industry’s most popular quick-detach variable-power optic mounts, ROTAPOINT’s new 34-degree offset red dot mount offers shooters a simple, rugged, and fast solution to transition effortlessly between primary and back-up optics. With a consistent cheek weld and no head movement, a slight twist of the wrist quickly switches between optics.

ROTAPOINT’s unique, patent-pending attachment method leverages the strength and stability of the primary optic mount’s cantilever and is secured with custom alloy steel Torx screws. This highly effective solution minimizes interference with existing optics, lasers, or flashlights, and reduces snagging. Furthermore, this method frees space on the upper receiver and handguard for other uses. Assembly takes under 3 minutes and does not require scope ring removal.

Featuring carefully designed ergonomics – engineered with input from experienced SOF members and competitive shooters – ROTAPOINT™ provides the operator unmatched speed and accuracy from close quarters to 600 yards, while adding only two ounces to the weapon system.

Once installed on the primary optic mount cantilever, the primary and secondary optics form a single unit and quickly and easily attach to and detach from the rifle.

Entirely designed, machined, and hardcoat anodized in the USA with 6061T6 aluminum, ROTAPOINT’s offset mount modernizes the most popular scope mounts already in the market.

Right-handed models available from Big Tex Ordnance include:

72: LaRue Tactical® LT-104 and LT-204 cantilever mounts, Aimpoint® Micro footprint

Gloom Group Launches “Night Vision Vendor Reviews”

Monday, July 11th, 2022

(Loveland, CO.) Gloom Group is proud to announce the launch of a community driven resource for night vision consumers, Night Vision Vendor Reviews.

This resource is the final of the three pillars in a consumer night vision education focused brand, and aims to be the center of gravity for reviews on vendors in the night vision space, which has exploded over the past several years. With such rapid growth in the night vision space, and many reviews winding up on social media that isn’t searchable, or scattered across the internet, finding a quality vendor is a large barrier to anyone looking to spend the considerable money that night vision requires.

A community driven resource does require community participation to be valuable however, so Gloom Group humbly asks that if you own night vision, that you leave a detailed review of your experience with that vendor at the following link: Night Vision Vendor Reviews.

G.G. can we found on their website, www.gloomgroup.com, as well as their Instagram page: @gloomgroup.

HENSOLDT and THEON Receive OCCAR Contract for 20.000 Night Vision Goggles

Tuesday, July 5th, 2022

Bonn, 5 July 2022 – The Organisation for Joint Armament Cooperation (OCCAR) signed a contract amendment to an existing contract for binocular night vision goggles on behalf of Belgium and Germany with a Consortium consisting of HENSOLDT Optronics and THEON SENSORS. The contract amendment worth a mid-three-digit million amount activates the existing option of the supply of an additional 20.000 MIKRON Night Vision Goggles to the German Armed Forces while at the same time the delivery schedule shall be accelerated. The follow-up contract will be executed by the newly founded joint venture HENSOLDT Theon Night Vision.

The contract amendment furthermore covers various enhancements of MIKRON and changes to the system configuration as a result of the Operational Testing and Acceptance phase which was successfully passed by the end of February 2022.

At the signing of the contract in Bonn with Andreas Hülle, Head of the Optronics & Land Solutions Division and Managing Director of HENSOLDT Optronics, and Christian Hadjiminas, CEO of THEON SENSORS, the Director of OCCAR-EA Matteo Bisceglia stated: “The additional 20.000 Night Vision Googles (NVG) supply to the German Armed Forces proves the success and perspective of OCCAR’s program through the new joint venture company HENSOLDT Theon NightVision”.

Andreas Hülle said: “HENSOLDT and THEON have already worked together successfully in the past. Here, two European companies are working together in an exemplary way to equip the Belgian and German armed forces with state-of-the-art night vision equipment. This order is directly related to our growth strategy. Russia’s war against Ukraine shows how important networked high-performance sensor technology and optical systems are for equipping our armed forces in line with the times.”

Christian Hadjiminas, CEO of THEON SENSORS, added: “This new large contract amendment is a culmination of the successful cooperation between HENSOLDT Optronics and THEON SENSORS that opens doors for synergies and co-operation in other areas within Europe. The present growth is not only beneficial for the countries and companies involved, but also is strengthening the European industrial position in the worldwide context.”

The type of night vision goggles selected is the MIKRON, a Binocular Night Vision Google (BNVG) with two 16 mm residual light amplifier tubes and integrated infrared illuminator. They can be worn by the soldier either on the helmet or by means of a headgear system. The two monoculars can be folded away separately. MIKRON is powered by a single AA battery but can also be operated with an external battery pack should a longer operating time be required.

The accelerated delivery schedule of the enhanced MIKRON shall start with first deliveries this month, while the total current contractual quantity of 29.550 NVGs is planned to be concluded in the 3rd quarter of 2024. The increase in night vision capability for both programme participating states is critical in providing advanced equipment for their dismounted, airmobile and air assault soldiers as well as drivers of military vehicles.
