AB Night Vision MGA – Manual Gain Articulating Night Vision Complete Binocular

The MGA (Manual Gain Articulating) night vision binocular is an extremely tough, full featured night vision binocular.  The MGA incorporates the proven features of our RNVG-A housing while adding manual gain control.  The housing is billet machined from 7075 alloy aluminum and designed to handle challenging real-world environments.  During drop testing, the housings far exceeded military requirements of MIL-STD-810H drop testing, surviving falls onto bare concrete from heights beyond what lenses and image intensifiers can handle.

The design features a rotary switch for power that also serves as manual gain adjustment.  The IR illuminator is activated by a pushbutton switch. Indicators in the viewing area alert the user if the IR illuminator is on, or if the unit senses a low battery condition.  The unit is powered by either an onboard 123 battery or auxiliary power from a battery pack using a 4-pin LEMO style connector.

The articulating design allows the user to quickly adjust for an Interpupillary Distance from 47mm to over 80mm.  Each optical pod can be rotated up out of the users view as desired, freeing one or both eyes for natural sight as conditions demand.  When the goggle is helmet mounted and in the stowed position, the optical pods can be folded back flat against the helmet to minimize neck strain and better protect the goggle, and the user, from impacting overhead objects. The optical pods automatically turn off when articulated up.  This feature prevents illumination on your helmet when one side is articulated up and ensures that the image intensifiers are ‘off’ in the stowed position with the optical pods folded back against the helmet.  The force required to swing the optical pods is user adjustable using a coin.

We offer five choices of Optics:

1.  Standard Mil-Spec Optics – NVD Cage CodeStandard Mil-Spec Optics – NVD Cage Code– These are the most popular and cost effective option.  We have evaluated multiple optics and found these to be the best option for most of our customers.  Weight: 4.5 ounces per set.
2. Standard Mil-Spec Optics – Noctis (Formerly Carson) Cage Code – These are identical to our NVD Cage Code optics, but have the Cage Code of Noctis (Former Carson). Weight: 4.5 ounces per optic set.
3.  Rochester Precision Optics (RPO) 4.0 UltralightRochester Precision Optics (RPO) 4.0 Ultralight – These are the most popular lightweight optic option.  They offer increased performance and ~45% lighter than Standard Mil-Spec Optics. Weight: 2.4 ounces per optic set.
4.  Photonis Defense Boomslang 50 Degree FOVPhotonis Defense Boomslang 50 Degree FOV– Lightweight 50 Degree optic system. Weight: 3.5 ounces per optic set
5.  Act in Black 50-Degree FOV – 50 degree optic system offering minimal resolution loss. Weight: 4.7 ounces per optic set.
