DPAM MOUNTING SYSTEM

The Dual-Powered Aviation Mount (DPAM) integrates existing ANVS-6/9, M949, F4949, F5050, and GPNVG NVGs with Wilcox’s standards for firm attachment to SPH-4 and HGU-56 or similar style flight helmets. The DPAM Mount Flight System attaches to flight helmets fitted with currently fielded quick release or 4-hole pattern. The 3 Volt system switches between currently fielded external power supplies or internal backup battery. The DPAM Mount Flight System provides a vast increase in capability and more robust solution over currently fielded devices. Lightweight Aluminum/Polymer construction increases durability over currently fielded mounting solutions.

The Dual-Powered Aviation Mount (DPAM) integrates existing ANVS-6/9, M949, F4949, F5050, and GPNVG NVGs with Wilcox’s standards for firm attachment to ballistic and non-ballistic helmets. The DPAM Mount Ground System attaches to helmets fitted with currently fielded one- or three-hole patterns. The DPAM Rail Base affixes to standard shrouds through use of the DPAM Rail Base Adapter. The 3 Volt system switches between currently fielded external power supplies or an internal backup battery. The DPAM Mount Ground System provides a more durable quick disconnect mounting pivot and points of adjustment over currently fielded devices. Lightweight Aluminum/Polymer construction increases durability over currently fielded mounting solutions.

The Wilcox DPAM™ Rail Base Adapter enables secure attachment of the Wilcox DPAM Rail Base to standard helmet shrouds, serving as the essential interface between the Rail Base and ground helmet platforms. Engineered for compatibility with the DPAM system, it ensures reliable alignment, firm mounting, and seamless integration with night vision devices. Its lightweight, durable construction supports operational stability while maintaining the system’s modular design. The adapter plays a critical role in providing a consistent, dependable mounting foundation across multiple helmet configurations.

The Wilcox DPAM™ Universal Interface Plate with integrated LEMO Pigtail Storage provides a secure, aviation‑ready connection point between the DPAM Rail Base and flight helmets equipped with standard quick‑release or four‑hole patterns. Engineered for streamlined cable management, the built‑in pigtail storage keeps the LEMO connector protected and accessible while maintaining a clean, snag‑free helmet profile. Its lightweight, durable construction ensures stable NVG interface alignment and enhances overall mounting system reliability within demanding flight environments.

The Dual Powered Aviation Mount (DPAM) was designed with aviators and crewmen in mind, this revolutionary aviator mount allows the operator to select between an internal and external power supply on the fly without removing the helmet and features a built in low battery indicator light.
