AB Night Vision RPNVG Binocular NVG Housing
** This is for the housing only no lenses are included **
The RPNVG (Ruggedized Panoramic Night Vision Goggle) is the first and only dedicated goggle able to pan each optical pod outwards to create a significantly wider functional Field of View (FOV) compared to traditional binoculars. Building upon the Panobridge concept, the benefits of additional FOV are multi-faceted: seeing more in the user's periphery increases situational awareness, and alleviating the need for the user to constantly turn their heads alleviates unnecessary neck strain.
While most NVG’s are built with molded polymer housings, the RPNVG features a 7075 aluminum chassis for unsurpassed rigidity and structural strength. All articulation points have been beefed up to increase impact resistance, giving users one tough goggle. The RPNVG uses a CR123A battery and the power and IR illuminators have been revised to push-button. Additional run times can be made available by using an off-board battery pack plugged into the RPNVG's integral LEMO battery port.
The RPNVG eliminates exposed wires – something commonly found in ANVIS-style night vision goggles. As the optic pods traverse during interpupilary adjustment, they ride across an electrical contact strip. This provides much increased weather/element resistance and reduces a traditional failure point. IP adjustment is accomplished with by turning dual knobs on either side of the bridge; the same as any traditional ANVIS goggle.
