Abstract
The shroud assembly is configured for attachment to the front of a helmet, or other headgear. The shroud assembly includes an interface for the removable attachment of an accessory mount used to couple an electronic or optoelectronic imaging device to the headgear. An example shroud assembly comprises a polymer frame having a shape that matches a contour of the headgear and an insert formed of a metal or metal alloy. The polymer frame is molded around the insert. The polymer frame and the insert together form an interface for the removable attachment of an accessory mount. The interface includes an upper recess configured to act as a bearing surface for an engaging latch member of the accessory mount, and a lower recess configured to act as a bearing surface for another engaging latch member of the accessory mount.
