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 SuperGain tubes have a Luminance Gain setting of between 100-120K, greatly increasing the image intensifier’s ability to amplify and collect light, resulting in a noticeably brighter image with increased low light performance and extending operational envelope and ability to see into dark areas. In addition, all TNVC SuperGain systems have a 2376+ Minimum Figure of Merit (FOM) specification, the highest performance level available to the wide market. 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.

You’ll be able to enjoy clear night vision with PVS 15 as well. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): What is the difference between Gen 2 and Gen 3 binoculars? The AN/PVS-31A BNVD is powered by one AA Battery (On-Board) or four AA Batteries (Remote) and has a battery life of 15 hours (Single Battery) or 50 hours (4 Batteries). Whereas the dimension of PVS 15 is 3.0 L” x 6.0 H” x 6.0 W”. so, it is a lot bulkier than the PVS 31. The weight of it is around 650 g whereas PVS 31 weighs around 425 g. Have you found a price cheaper elsewhere, but you'd prefer to buy from us? Don't worry, we have a price match guarantee. Night Vision PVS 31 beats Night Vision PVS 15 in terms of resolution. PVS 15 has a resolution of 64 Ip/mm whereas PVS 31 has a resolution of 72 Ip/mm. This means you’ll get a more clear image of your target through PVS 31.

The AN/PVS-31A Binocular Night Vision Device (BNVD) is a rugged, self-contained, compact & lightweight dual tube goggle with high performance Gen 3 Unfilled White Phosphor image intensifiers. Ergonomic, low-profile binocular design provides operator with superior situational awareness and improved depth perception over single-tube systems. The housing is engineered to be more rugged over legacy AN/PVS-15 system. The Armasight PVS-31 with Gen 3 Pinnacle Elite White Phosphor Image Intensifier Tubes are manufactured exclusively for Armasight by Elbit Systems of America. These Night Vision Goggles are a version of their popular F5032 system, which is part of the U.S. Marine Corps’ Squad Binocular Night Vision Goggles (SBNVG). These PVS-31 night vision goggles stand out among competing options because they have variable diopters, a built-in IR illuminator, and Elbit’s thin-filmed image intensifier tubes (IIT). The IIT are known for retaining peak performance over countless usage hours, combining extremely high performance with nearly impeccable cosmetics. In fact, the allowable blemishes are 50% lower than Pinnacle IITs, providing a flawless Zone 1 picture. They have a minimum of 2,000 FOM with a higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and no inclusions in Zone 1. Plus, these tubes only allow 1 inclusion in Zones 2 and 3, and it can’t be bigger than 0.006 inches, so it’s virtually imperceptible.

This option is for our customers that want a stricter spot spec offered from the factory. This option is hand selected strictly to meet the above aviation spot spec. Even though PVS-31a’s in general have incredible tubes, spots are still a reality in all night vision. If you are a customer that wants to insure a stricter spot spec this is a great option. Please understand that although an aviation spot spec is way stricter than the milspec spot spec, spots

Its lightweight design ensures comfort during prolonged use, and the option for hands-free operation with various mounting choices adds to its appeal. The RNVG provides crystal-clear night vision, ensuring clear observations in low-light conditions. PVS31 Night Vision You can count on at least 10,000 hours of operation out of the Armasight PVS-31 NVGs, and they are battle-tested by some of the most experienced special operation fighting forces in the world. All PVS-31s come with a Wilcox Industries G24 Breakaway Mount, so you can immediately attach them to a compatible shroud on your tactical helmet. In conclusion, both the PVS-31 and PVS-15 are top-of-the-line night vision systems that offer impressive capabilities for tactical operations and other low-light scenarios. While there are some key differences between the two models in terms of design, features, and performance, both offer a high level of functionality and dependability.

So, people who’re looking for binoculars with wide range FOV, PVS 15 and PVS 31 is a good choice. Both have a field of view of 40 degrees. One of the most sought after and frequently requested night vision products now on the commercial market—the L3Harris Binocular Night Vision Device (BNVD)! From the end-user’s perspective, the SuperGain tubes will be noticeably brighter than standard Unfilmed White Phosphor tubes under most conditions and will provide more useable information in extreme darkness. However, the most significant difference that users in the field will see is the ability to see deeper into dark corners and underbrush, allowing them to detect potential threats beyond the range of typical image intensifiers. This can be a significant advantage in both urban areas / inside of structures as well as in more rural areas with vegetation and heavy canopy and subterranean operations. The DTNVGs do have a slight advantage over the 1431. When you roll up a monocular pod, it will shut power to the intensifier tube. Not the case with the 1431. Now, let’s compare these two exceptional night vision devices across various parameters to better understand their strengths and weaknesses. 1. Optical Performance
