Multi-Purpose Night Vision Monocular Gen 2+ "Improved Definition" with Manual Gain
Engineered for armed forces and law enforcement personnel, the PVS-14 2nd Gen Improved Definition Night Vision Monocular from Armasight is a versatile, compact and rugged night vision device that can be used handheld, mounted to a helmet, weapon, or worn with the included headgear. The Armasight second generation intensifier tube technology incorporates a microchannel plate, multialkali photocathode, built-in power supply, and 18 mm format screen, which improve reliability, image brightness, and quality compared to first generation devices.
The Improved Definition (ID) feature produces green images and has a resolution of 47-54 lp/mm. With a manual gain control, you can adjust image brightness and detail when passing through environments with a varying ambient infrared illumination. If there is not enough natural infrared and your targets appear too dark and with little detail, the built-in infrared illuminator will provide additional illumination and help improve visibility even in complete darkness. The 1x optical system offers a wide angular field of view and a 0.8' minimum focus distance. Additionally, the device has an auto shut-off function, infrared indicator, and a low battery indicator.
The housing is waterproof, lightweight, durable, and provides protection from adverse conditions and extreme temperatures. It is contoured and has ergonomic controls, knurled adjustment rings, and wide rubberized winged eyecups.
The AN/PVS-14 multi-purpose night vision monocular was commissioned by the United States Military in the late ‘90s. Today there are more AN/PVS-14 units currently deployed in NATO Armies than any other night vision device. The AN/PVS-14 was the first real multiuse monocular, allowing it to fulfill a huge variety of Military needs.
It is also one of the most popular night vision units for law enforcement professionals. The Armasight PVS-14 uses the same framework, and its battle-proven design is lightweight and tough with superb optics. The PVS-14 is compatible with a host of accessories, allowing it to be hand-held, head/helmet-mounted, and weapon or camera-mounted. Designed for the most demanding nighttime Military or law enforcement operations, it is one of the best systems available.
