OEM ENGINEERING
Mount devices for optical, laser-aiming, illumination, night-vision and thermal imaging systems. From concept to development to design completion — Team GDI delivers innovative aiming-device mount solutions for industry and Mil/Gov/LE end-users.
We secure aiming devices to weapon systems.
GDI helps OEMs bring durable, field-ready hardware solutions from concept to deployment. We combine engineering, prototyping, validation, and production oversight to solve interface, mounting, and integration challenges that demand more than off-the-shelf answers. The result is proven hardware engineered for operational performance and delivered with the support required to move from development to production.
Every interface — optic to mount, mount to rail — is a tolerance chain where accuracy begins or ends.
Concept to completion, in-house.
Concept & Ideation
End-user mission analysis, threat-model framing, and rapid concept iteration with the operator in the loop.
CAD & Mechanical Design
Parametric CAD, GD&T tolerance stack-ups, and DFM-aware design for billet aluminum and stainless components.
Prototype & Validation
In-house prototyping with live-fire validation and MIL-STD-810 environmental qualification.
Production Management
GDI translates engineered designs into finished hardware through a vetted manufacturing network. By overseeing production, quality verification, and supplier performance, we ensure the delivered product faithfully reflects the engineered specification and meets the fitment, durability, and reliability requirements established during development.
Integration Engineering
Direct integration with optic, laser, illuminator, NVD and thermal OEMs — interface, mass and CG-aware.
Government & Procurement
Export Classification: EAR99. Prior NSN: 1240-01-567-3390. Country of Origin: USA. Procurement and program-of-record support across DoD and federal LE.
Aiming, sensing, illuminating.

Six steps from problem to fielded solution.
Discovery
Operator interviews, threat profile, weapon platform, environmental envelope.
Concept
Sketch & block-model. Mass, CG, optical-axis and Picatinny constraints locked.
Design
Full CAD, FEA where required, tolerance stack-up, ALQD™ interface integration.
Prototype
Machined prototypes, fit-check on weapon and optic, lab metrology.
Validation
MIL-STD-810 environmental, 5,000-rd endurance, RTZ characterization.
Program Execution
Transition from validated design to fielded hardware — GDI manages production, supply chain, and program support to deliver engineered solutions from prototype to operator.
