The TN/UNVM Talon: 

Ultralight Night Vision Monocular “Talon”

The Nocturn Industries U.N.V.M. “Talon” is an ultralight, full-featured night vision monocular engineered around a carbon-fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite that cuts size and weight while boosting durability versus legacy PVS-14 housings, without giving up the controls or PVS-14 optics/accessory compatibility you already know.

At just 53g in its CR123A configuration (housing weight), the Talon comes in at roughly 50% lighter than a standard AA PVS-14 housing (115g), a real difference you’ll feel during long nights and extended headborne use.

 

Why the Talon

Ultralight, mission-durable construction

• High-strength hybrid fiber reinforced injection-molded polymer housing
• Designed to meet/exceed IP68+ and MIL-STD-810H standards
• Built in the USA (designed, machined, molded, and assembled)

One knob. All functions.

The Talon’s single tactile control knob keeps the interface fast and glove-friendly:

• Press/hold: power ON/OFF
• Rotate (detent): gain adjustment
• Double-tap: activate onboard IR illuminator (with in-view indicator); tap once to deactivate
• With IR ON: rotate to adjust IR brightness
• Enable/disable auto-off when stowed through the same control
• Low battery indicator provides replacement warning

 

Compatibility and modularity

• Accepts standard EGAC MX-11769 tubes and 3-pad MX-11769 “Euro-style” tubes without modification
• PVS-14 J-arm style mount compatible (works with standard PVS-14 mounting J-arms/accessories)
• Compatible with PVS-14 spec optics and 18mm MX11769 styles (EGAC pigtail or 3-pad), and MX-10160 style (with loss of gain control)
• Interchangeable tube pod across the Talon and Nocturn Raptor binocular product lines

 

Power options

• Ships standard with a CR123A battery cap
• Optional AA and CR2 caps available for quick swaps using the existing battery-cap lanyard
• Advertised 50 hours of battery life (CR123A or AA)

 

Warranty

Backed with a lifetime, no-questions-asked housing warranty (repair or replacement of housing components; does not cover damage to intensifier tubes or lens assemblies).

 

MIL/LE note

For MIL/LE applications, the Talon can be configured with an onboard highlight cutoff sensor by special order.

 

What’s included

• Nocturn Industries U.N.V.M. “Talon” monocular housing / platform

(Tube, optics, and mounting components may be selected/configured depending on build options.)

 

 

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 Night Vision Devices, even on US soil. Again, this is a crime punishable by fines and prison sentences.
