RNVG

 

The RNVG is designed as the most rugged night vision goggle available.  While most devices are built with molded polymer housings, the RNVG 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.  Designed and machined at AB NightVision, the Ruggedized Night Vision Goggle is ready to face the toughest customers and harshest environments!

Traditionally, the weakest point in a night vision goggle is the joint between the optic pods and the bridge.  This point accounts for the majority of catastrophic breakage when a device is dropped or hit.  Part of this reason is that these joints are either polymer on polymer or metal on polymer interfaces.  While there are some seriously impact resistant polymers out there, it’s hard to beat aluminum for strength to weight ratios.  Both the optic pods and bridge in the RNVG are machined from solid billet 7075 (a material that is 36% stronger than most common steel), to give end users the strongest NVG on the market (not to mention a little piece of mind).  Careful design and advanced machining keep the weight down to 20 oz. with a battery installed.

The RNVG 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.

The RNVG utilizes a single CR123 battery, and comes with an auxiliary power connector for use with ANVIS-style auxiliary battery packs such as the AB Night Vision Ground Optimized Battery Pack.

RNVG housings are anodized black, but Cerekote finishes are available.  The tan goggles shown in the images are Coyote Cerekote.

 

 

RNVG-A

 

The RNVG-A (Ruggedized Night Vision Goggle – Articulating) is designed to be the most rugged articulating night vision goggle. The original RNVG earned the well-deserved reputation among civilian and professional users as the toughest night vision goggle available in the industry. The RNVG-A shares the same engineering with its 7075 aluminum construction.

While most articulating goggles are built with molded polymer housings, the RNVG-A features full 7075 aluminum construction for unsurpassed rigidity and structural strength.  All articulation points have been beefed up to increase impact resistance, giving users one tough goggle.  Designed and machined at AB NightVision, and finished / assembled at TNVC, the Ruggedized Night Vision Goggle – Articulating is ready to face the toughest customers and harshest environments!

Traditionally, the weakest point in an articulating night vision goggle is the hinge or attachment points from the hinge to the optic pods. These areas account for the majority of catastrophic breakage when a goggle is dropped or hit.  Part of this reason is that these areas are polymer and the metal screws that attach the hinge to the polymer optic pods can get ripped out. While there are some seriously impact resistant polymers out there, it’s hard to beat aluminum for strength to weight ratios and the metal screws attach metal to metal.  Both the optic pods and bridge in the RNVG-A are machined from solid billet 7075 (a material that is 36% stronger than most common steel), to give end users the strongest articulating goggle on the market (not to mention a little piece of mind).  Careful design and advanced machining keep the weight down to 20 oz. with a battery installed.

The RNVG-A utilizes a single CR123 battery, and comes with an auxiliary power connector for use with ANVIS-style auxiliary battery packs such as the AB Night Vision Ground Optimized Battery Pack.

RNVG-A housings are anodized black, but Cerekote finishes are available.  The tan goggles shown in the images are Coyote Cerekote.

 

 

Export of Night Vision Equipment or related accessories (such as manuals) is strictly regulated by the US Department of State in accordance with the guidelines of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). It is a major crime to ship or carry US manufactured night vision devices outside the borders of the United States, punishable by fines and prison sentences. Ignorance of these regulations will not hold up in court. By purchasing night vision equipment from TNVC, you attest that you will not attempt to export or carry this night vision equipment outside the borders of the United States. Also, it illegal to allow a non-US Citizen to look through US Gen3 BINOD (Binocular Night Observation Device), even on US soil. Again, this is a crime punishable by fines and prison sentences.
