The Night Vision Outfitters AN/PVS-14 is a proven night vision monocular system known for its reliability, versatility, and simplicity.  The PVS-14 remains one of the most trusted night vision systems in use by military, law enforcement, and civilian users worldwide.

The PVS-14 features a compact and lightweight housing designed for handheld, helmet-mounted, or weapon-mounted use. Its single-tube configuration allows for natural depth perception while maintaining situational awareness, making it an ideal solution for a wide range of applications.

The unit utilizes a simple and intuitive control layout, including manual gain adjustment, onboard IR illumination, and rotary-style controls. These features allow the user to quickly adapt to changing lighting conditions while maintaining optimal image quality. The integrated IR illuminator provides additional capability in extremely low-light or no-light environments.

Constructed to meet MIL-STD durability requirements, the PVS-14 is built to withstand extremely harsh environmental conditions. The Noctis (Carson) housing is nitrogen-purged and sealed for water submersion of up to sixty six feet, ensuring reliability in adverse weather and demanding environments, including salt-water or marine applications.

Power is supplied by a single AA battery, providing up to approximately 40–50 hours of operation depending on conditions. 

Image Intensifier Tube Options

Night Vision Outfitters offers several image intensifier options for this device, allowing customers to select the performance level and price point that best fit their needs.

All of our units are assembled using high-quality, meticulously-selected, brand-new tubes with strict cosmetic blemish and FOM tolerances to ensure excellent quality.

For L3Harris and Elbit tubes, key performance metrics will be provided via email for customer approval prior to shipment (FOM, EBI, HALO, Spots). Please note: L3Harris and Elbit tubes are manufactured in the USA, while NNVT tubes are manufactured in the PRC.

L3Harris Unfilmed White Phosphor

L3Harris unfilmed tubes represent the benchmark for Gen 3 night vision technology and excel in extremely dark environments with little or no ambient light. All L3 tubes we use are “UA” Aviation Grade, meaning they meet L3Harris’ most stringent cosmetic and performance tolerances.

L3Harris SuperGain Unfilmed White Phosphor

SuperGain tubes represent the most premium image intensifier technology currently available. While typical filmless tubes produce 40,000–80,000 fL/fc luminance gain, SuperGain tubes commonly reach 100,000–120,000 fL/fc, producing a brighter image and improved performance in the darkest conditions.

Elbit Systems USA Thin-Film White Phosphor

Elbit thin-film tubes deliver excellent Gen 3 performance at a slightly lower price point than L3 tubes. They perform particularly well in urban or mixed-light environments, making them a great option for users seeking a balance of performance and value.

North Night Vision Technology (NNVT) White Phosphor

NNVT tubes offer a more affordable entry point into night vision while still producing a strong image in moderate ambient light environments. NNVT tubes are a high-quality, high-FOM Gen 2+ technology and can be considered comparable to early Gen 3 performance levels. Please note: NNVT tubes are produced in the PRC, while L3Harris and Elbit tubes are produced in the USA.

Objective and Eyepiece Lens Options

Standard Mil-Spec Optics

High-quality Mil-Spec objective lenses and eyepiece optics are used as our standard optics and provide excellent image quality, clarity, and light transmission. These are typically manufactured by Noctis (Carson) or Night Vision Devices.

BrightPath Optics

These are high-quality optics that offer comparable performance to Noctis and Night Vision Devices but at a slightly lower price point than Mil-Spec optics.  They also provide a small weight reduction of approximately 0.5 ounces per optics set.

Rochester Precision Optics "RPO"

Rochester Precision Optics (RPO) ultralight objective lenses and eyepieces are available as an upgraded option. RPO optics are approximately 20% lighter than standard Mil-Spec optics while maintaining the same excellent optical performance.

Photonis Defense Boomslang Wide FOV

Photonis Defense Boomslang 50° wide-angle field-of-view (FOV) lenses increase the user’s viewable area by approximately 25% compared to standard Mil-Spec optics. Unlike earlier wide-FOV lenses, Boomslangs maintain no visible fisheye distortion with only minor chromatic aberration at the extreme edge of the image. Boomslang optics also reduce system weight by approximately 25–30 grams per eye compared to standard Mil-Spec optics.

ACT in Black Wide FOV

ACT in Black 50° wide-angle field-of-view (FOV) lenses increase the user’s viewable area by approximately 35% compared to standard Mil-Spec optics. These lenses maintain little to no fisheye distortion with only minor chromatic aberration at the edge of the image, while adding only approximately 20 grams per lens compared to standard Mil-Spec optics.

Warranty Information

The Night Vision Outfitters PVS-14 is built to stringent mil-spec standards and is designed for long-term reliability in demanding conditions. These units carry a five-year housing warranty along with a two-year warranty on the image intensifier tubes and overall system.  Additionally, it is one of the most serviceable night vision products ever produced, so buy with confidence knowing you’ll be able to enjoy this unit for years to come.
