ABSTRACT:
An arrangement (10) for mounting a night vision enhancement system to a vehicle (1010). The invention is adapted for use with a night vision enhancement system having an infrared camera (14) and a display (587). In the preferred embodiment, the invention (10) includes a mounting mechanism (16) disposed at a front end of said vehicle (1010) for retaining the camera (14). Optionally, a door (42) is included for protecting the camera (14). The door (42) is actuated on command between open and closed positions by a solenoid (44) attached to the frame of the vehicle on one end and to a linkage (48, 49) on the other. The linkage (48, 49) allows the door (42) to pivot in response to the movement of the solenoid plunger (45). The camera (14) is retained in an upside down orientation by a bracket (16) which is attached to the frame of the vehicle.
