The PVS-7D night vision goggle is the current military issue night vision goggle for the US armed forces. It is also the preferred choice of many foreign (NATO) forces. Produced by the hundreds of thousands, the PVS 7D will continue to march on for many years to come. Built to withstand water immersion, be hands free, utilize quick connect and disconnect features, include an infrared LED for use in complete darkness and assist in reading maps. An LED warning light is built into the unit to remind the user that the infrared LED can be seen by others who are using night vision devices. A low battery warning light is also built into the unit and there is also high light cut-off which will turn the unit off it if is left on during daylight conditions.
The PVS-7D runs on two AA batteries which power the unit for more than 40 hours. Originally built around a Gen II image tube, the introduction of the Gen III image tube increased the system performance by more than 50 percent and the tube lifespan by more than 300 percent. The PVS-7D version was a tube upgrade which increased performance.
For optimum performance, maximum durability, and the best possible supportability, the PVS-7D is the best choice for law enforcement, home security, outdoorsmen, boaters, campers, wildlife studies, or predator control.
