ANV Generation 3+ Night Vision Monocular

High performance night vision monocular

ANV night vision monocular for moving and observing.

Generation 3+ night vision optics have a wide range of applications. These monoculars are especially useful when walking, navigating a boat in and out of harbours and through surface debris, and driving when a covert approach is important, such as for security, enforcement and wildlife protection.

The monocular configuration is useful for navigating a boat because enables one eye sees the night vision image while the other eye can monitor maps and depth sounder.

High performance night vision compliments thermal imaging, both have their advantages and disadvantages. Unlike thermal imaging, night vision ‘sees’ light that is reflected off the surface of objects and people, making identification easier. Thermal cannot differentiate between objects of the same temperature, such as rocks in water after their temperatures have equalised.

* FOM stands for Figure of Merit, a key performance indicator set by the US military. FOM is resolution x signal-to-noise (RxSNR) of the tube. The FOM is the average of the batch of devices. Some may be slightly less and some slightly more. The differences are undetectable.
