Abstract
The disclosed method provides for the precise positioning of the night vision device with respect to the helmet to which it has to be fixed, in order that the user may enjoy optimum viewing conditions. This method consists in determining the position of the support of the device with respect to significant points of the user's head, in contact with the helmet, and then in copying these relative positions on a supporting tool bearing the helmet and the support of the night vision device, and in forming thickness shims between the helmet and the support.
