RNVG-A (ARNVG)

The AB Night Vision RNVG-A (also known as ARNVG) (Articulating Ruggedized Night Vision Goggle) is an extremely rugged articulating night vision goggle featuring external battery pack capability, an on-board illuminator, and push button controls. The RNVG-A is billet machined from aircraft grade aluminum and designed to handle hard use. The AB Night Vision RNVG-A far exceeds military requirements of MIL-STD-810H drop testing.

The RNVG-A utilizes push button switches for both power and the on-board Infrared Illuminator.  The IR illuminator button is shrouded by a fence with distinctive contours to prevent inadvertent activation. Indicators in the viewing area alert the user if the IR illuminator is on, or if the unit senses a low battery condition. The RNVG-A is powered by either an onboard 123 battery or auxiliary power from a battery pack using a 4 pin LEMO style connector.

The articulating design of the RNVG-A allows the user to quickly adjust for an Interpupillary Distance from 47mm to over 80mm. Articulation also offers more stow positions that are not possible on fixed bridge systems. The full range of articulation of the RNVG-A allows the pods to be folded back towards the helmet when stowed. This reduces snag hazards while also contributing to more comfortable use. 

The optical pods feature individual and automatic power on/off when articulated up or back down. This feature prevents light splash on your helmet when one side is articulated up and ensures that the image intensifiers are ‘off’ in the stowed position with the optical pods folded back against the helmet. The force required to swing the optical pods is user adjustable using a coin or other flat object in the field.

NNVT

• These are 1400+ Minimum FOM auto-gated auto-gain white phosphor intensifiers in 10160 format. This means the manual gain function on the PVS-14 body is non functioning as there is no manual gain controller on the intensifier tube. NNVT are a value minded option offering a functional capability at a modest price point. In a comparative sense these are similar to Photonis tubes in maintaining great resolution across light levels. We use auto-gated NNVT tubes not the non auto-gated tubes and calling them auto-gated as can be found on the internet. 

Elbit Gen 3 Thin-Filmed

• FOM is typically 1800-2400+ and can sometimes range much higher than this too. We also hold these to well above minimum cosmetic tolerance.

L3  Gen 3 Unfilmed 

• Unfilmed (2300+ FOM Common)
• Exceeds spot specification minimum
• We sort and batch our tubes to ensure all have as clean screen cosmetics and high specifications as possible. Each exceeding the minimum standards for its type.
• L3 Unfilmed High FOM option. These tubes are hand selected from our Mil-Spec and Aviator tubes to achieve the highest specification possible with as clean screen cosmetics as possible (2400-2800+ Common).
