Abstract: A mounting device having a mounting assembly for mounting a pair of goggles to a helmet is provided. The mounting assembly is configured to provide at least three degrees of freedom of movement using one or more actuation mechanisms for locking and unlocking a position of the mounting device. The number of actuation mechanisms is less than a number of degrees of freedom. In some aspects, the number of actuation mechanisms is one. A rotation base connects the mounting assembly to the helmet, and a goggle linkage connects the mounting assembly to the goggles. Various single actuation mechanisms, including a sliding mechanism, a friction-based wire/brake mechanism, and a floating friction brake mechanism, are provided.

Abstract: A landing zone designation system is provided that includes a master and a slave landing strobes. A detector on an aircraft can detect master and slave optical signals, and a processor can be coupled to the detector to compute placement of the aircraft relative to the master and slave landing strobes. A method is provided for designating a landing zone for an aircraft. The method includes emitting first and second optical signals, where a determination is made whether the aircraft is to land at a first landing zone or a second landing zone depending on a difference between the first optical signal and the second optical signal. A distance to landing within the determined first landing zone or the second landing zone can also be determined.

Abstract: A landing strobe is provided having an optical emitter configured to emit an optical signal. An input device can be coupled to the optical emitter for setting the optical signal to a signature strobe output unique to the landing strobe. A landing zone designation system is also provided having a landing strobe configured to emit a signature strobe output unique to the landing strobe. An aircraft spaced from the landing strobe can include a detector for optically receiving the signature strobe output to determine the landing zone is proper to land the aircraft if the signature strobe output matches an expected signature strobe output.

Abstract: A landing strobe is provided that comprises a vane extending from the landing strobe, and an actuator coupled to the vane. The actuator can be configured to move the vane from a first position to a second position upon impact of the landing strobe. The landing strobe can also comprise an optical emitter configured to emit an adjustable radiation pattern extending radially around a central axis that is substantially vertical when the van is moved to the second position. A landing strobe system is also provided and comprises a landing strobe configured to be released from an aircraft arranged over a landing zone. The vane is configured to extend at an upward angle outward from the landing strobe when released from the aircraft. The vane is further configured to extend at a downward angle outward from the landing strobe when the landing strobe contacts the landing zone.

Abstract: A method. At least some embodiments are a method including detecting docking of a mobile computer system to a docking device. In response to detecting the docking, the method further includes connecting an external data communication network to a bridge logic device in the mobile computer system via the docking device, and uploading, via the external data communication network, first data to a non-volatile random access memory coupled to the bridge logic device in the mobile computer system. The method further includes uploading, via the external data communication network, second data to the non-volatile random access memory coupled to the bridge logic device in the mobile computer system, the second data comprising programming instructions for execution on a computer system external to the mobile computer system.

Abstract: A methodology, for night vision equipment, includes enabling an automatic brightness control (ABC) procedure for a light intensifier having a photocathode that automatically selects a voltage to be applied to the photocathode, sensing current being drawn by the anode, when the current being drawn by the anode exceeds a predetermined threshold, shutting down the photocathode, disabling the ABC procedure, and storing, as a stored voltage value, a value of a voltage that had been selected by the ABC procedure when the current exceeded the predetermined threshold. After a first predetermined period of time, applying a voltage to the photocathode in accordance with the stored voltage value, and after a second predetermined period of time re-enabling the ABC procedure and selecting the stored voltage value as the voltage to be applied to the photocathode.

Abstract: A power supply comprising a DC to DC converter coupled to a current limited controller and an accumulator is disclosed, where the DC to DC converter may be a switch-mode DC to DC converter. The current limit controller may be configured to limit a current draw of the switch-mode DC to DC converter. The accumulator may be configured to discharge to an output terminal of the DC to DC converter while the current limit controller limits the current draw of the DC to DC converter.

Abstract: A method of calculating a climb-dive marker (CDM) that is visibly present on a display even as the aircraft approaches a roll angle of +/−90° is provided. An exemplary CDM method comprises obtaining, an X-axis velocity, a Y-axis velocity, and a Z-axis velocity in aircraft body coordinates of an aircraft; calculating a CDM elevation; and displaying, by the controller, the calculated CDM elevation. The method can further comprise obtaining an angle of attack (AoA) of the aircraft and a roll angle of the aircraft, wherein the AoA is set as the value of the CDM elevation when the roll angle is within a preset range. The CDM elevation may also be calculated using a combination of the AOA and the CDM formula when roll angle is within a second preset range.

Abstract: An apparatus for target location is disclosed. The apparatus includes a housing, which includes a range sensor to generate range data, an image sensor to generate image data, an inertial sensor to generate inertia data, and a processor. The processor is configured to receive the image data from the image sensor and determine a first orientation of the housing and receive the inertia data from the inertial sensor and modify the first orientation based on the inertia data to produce a modified orientation of the housing.
