The Armasight ANKI000001 AIM Advanced Integrated Mount is a ground-breaking and exciting concept. This night-vision accessory allows the operator to convert Armasight night vision monoculars into a weapon sight.
AIM is housed in a low-profile housing, which also incorporates a Picatinny mount on the underside, and a dovetail mount on the top. By mounting AIM onto your rifle and fitting either our night-vision monoculars or AIM optional day optics, the AIM can be bore-sighted to your rifle, meaning that the operator can switch between modes as required. AIM projects the reticle directly into the Night-Vision monocular lens instead of requiring the night-vision unit to be mounted behind a day optic! In practice, what this means is that there is no longer a reduced field of view through the night vision device or any shadowed area that is difficult to see through (caused by conventional red-dot sights optics or outer edges). A small HUD-type prism on the front of the AIM unit projects a 65 MOA Circle and single 3.2 MOA center aiming the Dot directly into the night-vision lens. The electro-optical aiming system consists of a collimated LED diode module with dedicated windage and elevation adjustments, prismatic output window, power supply, and a 0 to 11 brightness adjustment switch. Manufactured to high tolerances from aluminum alloy, the AIM mount system is light, robust, and designed to fit any Weaver or MIL STD 913/Picatinny rails. Additionally, the Armasight AIM features lockable, adjustable quick-release levers for easy, quick, and reliable mounting and removal. The Armasight AIM is an excellent choice for the on-a-budget night time hunter SOF assaulter constantly evaluating mission gear for size and weight, or for a police officer that needs to switch from patrolman duty to SWAT operation.
