Hey guys, I’m stepping into unknown territory here and could use some help. I need to find a mounting system for a dual tube nvg unit that can work on ballistic helmets. The tricky part is it needs to be a no-drill setup but it needs to be reasonably rugged. Does such item exist?

I ran a USGI ratchet strap successfully for years and years, and have helped install a couple dozen more for classes, etc. These were worn in vehicles on rough roads, crawling through brambles, etc. Never an issue. There are a handful of tricks regarding which bracket to get, etc so share the helmet you have etc.
CADEX (Canada) also makes a conceptually similar but entirely different over the top mount.
The others I know for US, France are very new and/or actually experimental so you can't have one.
It is not impossible to drill, and there has been some Army testing that the holes are not a ballistic defeat issue, at least factory drilled. I might either drill it or if very high dollar and new just sell it and get a drilled helmet.
One hole is plenty IME. I have been running a one hole with Norotos mount with a heavy (thermal one side) binocular setup for around a year, with similar abuse to the above, and it's rock solid.

I believe drilling would be the better option for reliable mounting, however the ballistic helmets belong to my employer, not me. They may come around, but I am supposed to find a drill-free method first. Our unit is looking at outfitting about 94 helmets.
You looking for something like this? 
That looks like it would do the trick
Gsci out of canada is where i found it
