The TNVC TM14 is a lightweight, low profile mounting solution for the standard issue AN/PVS-14 Night Vision Monocular. It is designed to allow rapid attach and detach from the Aimpoint Twist Mount Base. It clamps around the PVS-14 Objective Lens Locking Ring and has a low-profile footprint for interfacing with the Aimpoint Twist Mount base. The footprint faces forward under the objective lens, allowing the operator to quickly and easily index the unit into place. Its low profile ring locks with a single machine screw located at the base, leaving an uninterrupted band around the objective lens housing. This feature keeps the TM-14 from interfering with the Gain Knob and IR Illuminator.
The purpose of the TM14 is to provide an ultra-fast and secure method of transitioning the PVS-14 between helmet and weapon mounts. The placement of the adapter allows both the TM-14 and J-Arm to stay on the optic at all times and means you can transition the PVS-14 in seconds and with only one hand! The modern battlefield is proliferated with bad guys wearing night vision. More and more, the Warfighter and Law Enforcement Professional must employ night vision systems in a passive mode as IR lasers broadcast their position from exceedingly long range. The ability to transition from active to passive NV is essential, allowing the good guys to stay a step ahead.
