Dual Tube Configuration: The PVS-31 utilizes a dual tube system, providing a stereoscopic vision that enhances depth perception and situational awareness. The Armasight PVS-31 with Gen 3 Pinnacle Elite White Phosphor Image Intensifier Tubes are manufactured exclusively for Armasight by Elbit Systems of America as a version of their popular F5032 system, which is part of the US Marine Corps’ Squad Binocular Night Vision Goggles (SBNVG.) These PVS-31 Goggles contain all the key features that make it standout over competing PVS-31 systems, including variable diopters, built-in IR illuminator, and the outstanding and long-lasting performance of Elbit’s thin-filmed image intensifier tubes, which retain their peak performance over usage hours significantly better than competing filmless IIT offerings in testing. The life expectancy of a Generation 2 binocular is around 5,000 hours. Whereas, the life expectancy of a generation 3 binocular is double, 10,000 hours. Gen 3 night vision binoculars have better durability and resolution. They are the best low-light night vision currently. Can night vision binoculars be used during the day? Some people have asked me what the quality of the housing is like. It seems decent. Comparing it to the real thing I do not see much of a difference. The real PVS-31 housing appears to have a sandy texture to it whereas the 1431 has splotches like galvanized steel. As I said earlier it looks similar to ANVIS polymer which leads me to believe it was made with glass filled nylon. I have seen a handful of photos and posts about broken PVS-31s. So it is not like the real ones are super robust either.

SuperGain image intensifier tubes have undergone extensive testing both by the U.S. Army's Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD) at Fort Belvoir as well as USSOCOM and other Special Operations Forces organizations, and are currently being fielded and in-service around the world in the newest, most technologically advanced night vision systems in the force, including the AN/PSQ-42 ENVG-B Advanced Goggle as well as panoramic fusion goggles. 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 The PVS 15 is bigger and heavier than PVS 31. When it comes to binoculars, the lightweight and compact the size is, the better it is for the user. The dimensions of the PVS 31 are 4.3” L x 4.3” H x 3.4” W.The RNVG (Rugged Night Vision Goggle) is renowned for its durability and versatility. It boasts a wide field of view, making it an excellent choice for outdoor activities and tactical missions. Finally, the AN/PVS-31A BNVD has a single battery life of 15 hours, while the SI/PVS-14 NVG has a single battery life of 10 hours. When using four batteries, the AN/PVS-31A BNVD has a battery life of 50 hours, while the SI/PVS-14 NVG has a battery life of 40 hours. This makes the AN/PVS-31A BNVD the better choice when it comes to battery life.

Experience the latest evolution of Image Intensified Night Vision devices from L3Harris, being used in the toughest conditions for the most critical missions by U.S. DoD and Tier 1 Special Operations worldwide. The AN/PVS-31A uses L3Harris Unfilmed White Phosphor autogated image intensifier tubes with a 2376 min FOM rating from the factory. These unfilmed tubes provide incredible clarity, low light and high light performance, and increased depth perception. These are L3’s most advanced intensifier tubes and offers significant performance increases over other white phosphor systems.

The L3Harris BNVD has independently pivoting or articulating optical pods to adjust interpupillary distance (IPD) or to allow the goggles to be stowed flat, rather than articulating the mount to a stowed position, allowing greater overhead clearance and easier access to deploy the goggle when needed. The articulating optical pods can also allow the user to run the goggle in a binocular or monocular configuration. One feature that the 1431 shares with the DTNVG is the auto off/on when the unit is stored vertically on a helmet. However, just like the PVS-31, the 1431 can be programmed. The DTNVG can supposedly be programmed as well but it is not something the user can perform. On the 1431 you press the power button 4 times and a red indicator light will blink inside the left eyepiece. You are now in auto off mode. If you press the power button 4 times again then the unit will no longer shut off when stored vertically. You must do this when the 1431 is turned on. Pinnacle Elite Image Intensifier Tubes offer the ultimate in picture clarity due to stringent cosmetic standards that allow only a few IITs to qualify for the Pinnacle Elite designation. Pinnacle Elite tubes have almost 90% less imperfections than our Bravo tubes, only allowing up to two blemishes – one in Zone 2 and one in Zone 3, but microscopically small at under six mils. Every Pinnacle Elite tube has a minimum of 2000 FOM, combining top-end performance with a nearly pristine image. Armasight systems with Pinnacle Elite Image Intensifier Tubes are the systems of choice for law enforcement, military, and the most accomplished hunters. With its military-grade build, the PVS-31 offers reliable performance even in harsh environments. It is widely used by military and law enforcement personnel for its exceptional night vision capabilities. DTNVG Night Vision

Overall, it’s clear that the PVS-31 and PVS-15 are two of the best night vision systems available on the market today. With their advanced features, rugged construction, and reliable performance, they are the perfect choice for anyone who requires the very best in nighttime vision technology.

The AN/PVS-31A is a Gen III dual tube goggle with improved white phosphor tube technology. It offers superior situational awareness compared to a single tube goggle, with a low-profile design and improved system resolution. It also provides additional operational utility and reduces head-borne weight, allowing for improved system center of gravity.
