L3 UNFILMED WHITE PHOSPHOR COMMERCIAL GRADE PVS14 UNIT

The PVS-14 is the standard-issue night vision optic serving US forces on the front lines of the Global War on Terror. Its phenomenal versatility makes it the premier choice for Law Enforcement Professionals as well. PVS-14’s can be mounted on helmets for hands-free use, behind weapon optics, or simply as a handheld device. As a monocular, the PVS-14 provides Gen3 night vision aid to one of the operator’s eyes, leaving the other to retain its natural night-adapted vision. This is important when changing light conditions in the field cause the user to go back and forth between aided and un-aided vision. Military and Law Enforcement operators need the ability to instantly switch between night vision and white light as the situation develops.

The PVS-14 is a U.S.-made Generation 3 night vision monocular based on the standard issue AN/PVS-14. Our professionally-trained and experienced technicians assemble the PVS-14 according to U.S. Military guide lines, using factory-new parts and hand-selected image intensifier tubes. We offer all PVS-14’s in several kit configurations to make sure end users get everything they want, while not paying for accessories they do not need.

This version of the PVS-14 is built with a new-production L3 Gen3 Un-Filmed White Phosphor image intensifier tube. These tubes meet the current U.S. Military OMNI VIII contract specs and, provide some of the cleanest images available. White Phosphor is the latest technology advancement in image intensifier tubes. These filmless tubes provide greater detail clarity and 15-20% more light transmission than standard thin-filmed green tubes. USSOCOM and JSOC have chosen white phosphor tubes as their new standard and are now taking delivery of these tubes exclusively.

Their better performance in lower light conditions has proven instrumental in the success of their nighttime missions. Now you can own a night vision goggle with the same tubes being used by Tier 1 Special Operations Forces.
L3 is one of two factory manufacturers of Gen3 image intensifier tubes in the United States. They provide the majority of goggle systems used by U.S. Special Operations Forces. L3 tubes are designed to be weapons-rated. These tubes are weapons rated for heavy calibers. However, the PVS-14 housing is not. PVS-14’s and other NVG’s are designed to be worn on the head 99% of the time. Their lightweight polymer housings are not designed to stand up to heavy caliber weapon shock.
