Product Description
The RQE Universal Bridge is a lightweight, highly adaptive interface component for use with a night vision and thermal monoculars. Designed for a multitude of devices and mission options, a single bridge virtually allows any monocular to be attached. It exceeds present manufacturers inter-pupillary adjustment, weight-savings, and modularity at a lesser cost than competing systems. The Universal Bridge extends adjustability and personal customization beyond any currently offered product with highly adaptive compatibility.
The RQE Universal Bridge is one of the most over-engineered, over-built, and highly-prized night vision mounting systems on the market. It is up to 50% lighter than other similar products without sacrificing strength or functionality. The Universal Bridge attaches to standard BNVD Dovetail Helmet Mounts, allowing users to attach two individual night vision monoculars or a night vision monocular paired with a thermal monocular. The BNVD Dovetail mounts "Tolerance Tooth" is adjustable, this feature is designed to ensure male dovetails will properly seat in any other manufacturer’s female interface. Due to varying tolerances from one manufacturer to the next, wear, environmental changes, etc; not all dovetails consistently lock up. The Tolerance Tooth allows precise adjustment to compensate for tolerance stack. Even if your Universal Bridge locks up perfectly with the host mount, parts wear will occur from constant mounting reps. Adjusting the Tolerance Tooth will ensure a snug fit throughout the life of the device.
The RQE Universal Bridge features precise inter-pupillary adjustment via dual thumb wheels. The wheels operate freely for ease of use, but are low profile to keep them from accidental actuation in the field. The individual pivoting wings allow users to rotate each monocular out of the way in a low profile stowage manner. If the user wants to flip the whole assembly up, the pivot features allows the monoculars lay flatter against the helmet shell than standard mounts; again creating a lower profile.
The RQE Universal Bridge allows users to pair up a large variety of night vision and thermal monocular systems using RQE mounting accessories. Additional accessories or mounts maybe required to attach monoculars to the RQE Universal Bridge.
The RQE Universal Bridge is one of the best dual monocular mounting systems on the market. Highly adjustable and modular, it provides incredible versatility for attaching dual night vision or night vision/thermal pairings. If you want increased mobility under night vision, pairing up two monoculars into a bridge system is an easy way to achieve it. If you want hands-free observation ability through night vision and thermal, the Universal Bridge allows one of each to be attached with ease. While this does not provide a fused image while used in conjunction, users can observe through one technology while the other unit is pivoted out of the way. Then, they can quickly switch. This method provides unmatched detection and identification capability in the field.
