NVS 14 SERIES NIGHT VISION MONOCULARS

The NVS 14 series of night vision monoculars has been proven by deployments in
conflict zones and by peacekeepers around the world. All models utilize advanced
Gen 3 image intensifier tubes with minimum, exportable FOM >1600, and have a
manual gain control system. The newly-improved NVS 14-3AG and NVS 14-3AGBW
models are now the lightest night vision monoculars utilizing full-sized IITs available
today. Both systems are auto-gated while the NVS 14-3AGBW produces a black-&-
white image rather than the traditional green.

Each NVS 14 series device can be handheld, weapon-, head- or helmet-mounted. With
optional lens attachments that turn either model into a 3x or 5x night vision sight, and
a full range of additional accessories, the NVS 14 series is among the world’s most
versatile night vision devices.
