Designed as an intermediate-range night sight, the WASP CNVD is a new Picatinny Rail compatible, Clip-On Night Vision Device offered by TNVC, Inc. Offering clear night vision between 4X and 12X, the WASP CNVD produces relies on a 70mm Catadioptric Lens System that operates at an incredibly fast f/1.14 speed. According to TNVC, the image quality rivals that of most clip-on sights on the market at powers below 10X.
Clip-On Night Sights are preferred by most operators for their versatility, being able to attach to multiple weapon platforms while producing less bulk and weight in the field compared to having to carry a complete night vision-equipped rifle on top of the shooter’s primary. The WASP CNVD is factory aligned to hold 0.5 MOA or better. Repeatability is achieved through the use of a Larue Tactical LT105 Quick Detach Mount. The WASP CNVD is powered by a single CR123A Lithium Battery in an O-Ring sealed compartment making the device weather resistant to rain and snow.
The WASP CNVD is available in two image intensifier tube configurations. The ITT Gen3 PINNACLE Tube version is warranteed up to/including 7.62 NATO while the L-3 OMNI VIII MilSpec Contract Tube Version is warranteed up to/including .50 BMG. The WASP CNVD comes complete with a custom padded MOLLE pouch, Light Shield, Operator Manual, Quick Reference Card, Lens Cleaning Tissue, and Tube Data Sheet.
