The MICC End User requires the following items, Brand Name or Equal, to the following:
LI 001: M300V SCOUT LIGHT WEAPONLIGHT or equal.
The M300V is the gatekeeper in our line of multi-spectrum Scout Lights. Powered by a single 123A lithium battery, it produces 250 lumens of brilliant white light focused through a TIR lens to provide the throw you need for positive target identification plus the spill you need to maintain situational awareness. The M300V also provides 100 mW of invisible infrared illumination for use with night vision devices — with no need for IR filters or spare lamps. To switch between white light, disable, and infrared modes you simply twist the front knurled portion of the bezel. In either mode, the M300V's TIR lens produces a tight beam suited for close- to medium-range applications. The M300V comes with a momentary/constant-on push-button tailcap switch. It clamps solidly to any rifle equipped with a Picatinny rail via its integral M75 thumbscrew mount. Constructed of high-strength aerospace aluminum with Mil-Spec hard anodizing for superior toughness and corrosion resistance, it’s a battle-proven design, built to withstand the rigors of combat., 92, EA;
LI 002: Surefire M640DF Scout Pro Weaponlight or equal.
The Dual Fuel Scout Light® Pro unites the combat-proven elements of the M600DF Scout Light®. SureFire’s new Low-Profile Mount (LPM) delivers unprecedented versatility, allowing the user to optimize the light’s position relative to the rail. Rugged and reliable, the LPM easily and securely attaches to any MIL-STD-1913 or M-LOK rail. The Dual Fuel’s recoil-proof, ultra-high-output LED delivers 1,200 lumens of blinding white light with 123A batteries or 1,500 lumens of light with the SF18650B* rechargeable lithium-ion battery, and its Total Internal Reflection (TIR) lens creates a hybrid beam pattern with plenty of reach and ample surround light. It’s ideal for close- to longer-range applications. Constructed of lightweight aerospace aluminum, Mil-Spec hard-anodized, and O-ring sealed to keep out the elements, the Dual Fuel Scout Light Pro is a new twist on a legendary WeaponLight system., 126, EA;
LI 003: M-Ax Mount or equal.
For those that require a powerful helmet mounted flashlight during search operations, you will appreciate the maximum range of motion of the Multi-Axis Mount™. Aim the light where you need it…done. Dubbed the M-Ax Mount™, this compact assembly mounts to the Ops-Core, Team Wendy and Galvion Helmets and takes the flashlight up and above the helmet rail, nesting it in a low profile position., 132, EA;
LI 004: OPS-CORE HELMET – FAST BUMP (NON-BALLISTIC) Medium or equal.
SKU: OPS-FSTBMP-
MATERIAL        Injection-Molded Polymer, 35% Glass-Filled Nylon
WEIGHT        1.31 lbs. (Medium), 1.39 lbs. (Large), 1.46 lbs (X-Large)
ACCOMMODATES        USGI Rhino Mount, Norotos AKA2, INVG, Wilcox L4 G24, L4 G01 L4 G02, L4 G21, L4G29
SHELL SIZE        S/M (20 7/8in - 22in), M/L (22 - 23 1/4), L/XL (23 1/4 - 24 3/8in)
The in-molded shroud is designed to interface with standard NVG Mount Brackets. These include the Standard-Issue USGI Rhino Mount, Norotos AKA2 and INVG, Wilcox L4 G24, L4 G01 L4 G02, L4 G21, L4G29, etc. The molded is tight which reduces wobble. The shell’s paint adds a small layer of thickness as well, which will crack off in certain contact areas. But, this extra several thousandths of material helps to stabilize the mount. The polymer is thick in this section, so there are no worries of it cracking or breaking under normal use.
The FAST Bump Helmet incorporates the BISS-NVD lanyard/ elastic tensioner which eliminates night vision mount rattle and vibration by keeping your devices taut against the helmet shell. When not in use, the bungie-cord lanyards hook into holes under the shroud for storage.
The sides of the helmet sport proprietary FAST-ARC 4-position Rail Connectors for securing accessories like lights. These ARC’s act as the hub for an entire suite of modular accessories.
• Works in conjunction with locking and rotating adapters that utilize emergency break-away features for airborne operations.
• Upper ARC dovetail for devices like low-profile lights, video camera, visor, mandible and up-armor side covers.
• Corner ARC buckle receiver for gas and O2 mask strap kit attachments that eliminate the bulk and clutter of traditional bayonet style mounts.
• Lower ARC dovetail for devices like flip-out COM headset, battery pack, goggle strap keeper, mandible and up-armor side covers.
• Over-the-center side hook attachment for devices like illuminator, strobe light and battery pack., 40, EA;
