The Ultralight Articulating Night Vision Binocular UANVB Katana from Nocturn industries is the lightest night vision binocular on the market to date at a functional weight of 17.76 oz fully assembled (with battery installed). The articulating design of the UANVB Katana allows users to use one eye or both eyes enabling the simultaneous use of a thermal optic or handheld scanner. Articulation allows the end user to operate vehicles without limiting head space by eliminating the need to stow the unit upright or to tuck the pods against the helmet when stowed.
The Nocturn Katana is simple with a minimalist design. An onboard battery with no remote power keeps things simple and wires off the helmet. Push button on/off in the battery cap to reduce weight and reduce the footprint of the bridge. Individual pod power on/off when articulated to the side for single or dual eye use and to eliminate backsplash when stowed or rotated out. A lemo port version is also offered for those who wish to have battery pack capability.
An original new “Friction Lock Interpupillary Adjustment” feature allows users to quickly and easily set IP stop distance with a simple rotate into place set and forget design. No tools or knobs.
The UANVB Katana is light weight without compromising strength. It is rugged and has been drop tested to the NATO 1.5 meter drop test standard. All Nocturn Industries products are designed and hand built in New Hampshire, USA.
We build our Nocturn Industries UANVB Katana using our suite of in house state-of-the-art equipment including our Hoffman Engineering ANV-126A Test Set and precision collimation plate we designed for use with the UANVB Katana. We are the only United States entity that possesses the proper adapter plate for accurately collimating UANVB Katana as it was designed to our precise tolerances and requirements.
