Night Vision Monoculars

Night Vision Monoculars (NVM) with built-in 2+ SuperGen or 3 Gen Image Intensifier Tube enable to conduct visual observation at night time, night land navigation, night sea navigation in starlight viewing conditions.

Night Vision Monoculars are used during military and special operations, night patrolling and site protection, night air and sea navigation; at rescue and emergency operations; for night vision filming and photography. Night Vision Monoculars can be also used for cross-country navigation with no white light illumination at night time.

  • Hand-held, head-mounted or weapon-mounted through special adapter
  • Power supply module (1 battery "AA") provides continuous "IR-on" monocular operation for 40 hours.
  • "Low battery" indication
