FMA Ballistic Aramid Fiber Bulletproof Helmet Maritime Tan (M/L)

Product Information

The SI/PVS-14 Photonis Echo White Phosphor is a Gen 2 Commercial offering with a thinner film than the AN/PVS-31A, and options for a Steele Protective Lens and Wilcox L4 G24 Mount. It also offers excellent battery life with one AA battery that can last up to 30 hours, or four AA batteries for a battery life of up to 60 hours. It is lightweight and smaller in size compared to PVS 15. The battery life is greater and lasts for a long time. The specification of PVS 31 is also higher than PVS 15. However, the PVS-31’s dual tube configuration gives it a slight advantage in depth perception, particularly in complex environments. 2. Field of View Despite this, the DTNVG also shares the RNVG’s lightweight design and rugged build, making it suitable for outdoor activities and tactical operations. Finally, this article will provide guidance on choosing the right night vision goggles for a given application.

When it comes to performance and image quality, the AN/PVS-31A and SI/PVS-14 NVGs offer distinct capabilities that can help inform a buyer’s decision. The AN/PVS-31A has an articulating housing with independently rotating optical pods. This lets the user deploy both tubes or a single tube. This is especially helpful when users are deploying their PVS-31’s while using a thermal device. The optical pod articulation also lets users stow their goggles without having to flip the goggles up on the helmet mount. This reduces snag hazard and additional height added to the helmet. Tube Specs This article will provide a detailed comparison between the two products, focusing on their features, price points, and associated accessories. The performance and image quality, ergonomics, durability, and battery life of each model will also be discussed.The RNVG and PVS-31 offer remarkable optical performance, providing clear and sharp images in low-light situations. The PVS-31 eyepieces are longer than the PVS-14 eyepieces used on the 1431. But the objective lenses are longer on the 1431 compared to the PVS-31 on the right. Additionally, the rear eyepieces on the PVS-31 do not have an adjustable diopter. If you have bad eyesight you will need to keep wearing corrective lenses while using PVS-31s or pony up the cash for the fixed diopters from L3. Also by using PVS-14 optics on the BNVD-1431, you can use any compatible accessory like filters or a COTI. There is an adapter for the COTI to attach onto PVS-31 objective lenses but that is extra.

As mentioned earlier, the RNVG boasts a wider field of view, making it suitable for scenarios where broader visual coverage is crucial.

The newest BNVD-SG (SuperGain) also utilizes SuperGain tubes developed in concert with the U.S. Army's Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD) at Fort Belvoir and U.S. Special Operations Forces. SuperGain is the latest image intensifier tube technology from L3Harris, and is one of the most significant evolutions in Generation 3 night vision systems and performance since the introduction of Unfilmed technology and available only at TNVC as a new premium option.
