The Wilcox G24 is a helmet mount for night vision goggles (NVGs). It uses a dovetail shoe interface to lock the NVG firmly in place, and it works with all Wilcox shrouds. It is made to keep a very low profile on the helmet, whether in use or stowed.
A breakaway safety feature is designed to detach the mount from the helmet base under stress. This helps reduce the risk of neck injury during fast-roping, parachute operations, or other situations where equipment can snag. A simple lever enables or disables the feature.
All controls are made for one-handed use, so the NVG's position, tilt and stowage can be adjusted with one hand. Adjustments include vertical height, fore/aft travel and a 15-degree tilt. The mount also rotates 130 degrees to stow the NVG against the helmet.
