Catch Santa in the Act this Year with TNVC’s Black Friday Sale! Deep Discounts on TNV/PVS-14s with Lifetime Limited Warranty, Thermal Fusion, and More!

Tuesday, November 26th, 2019

DTG: 250330DEC19

Location: Your House

Footsteps on the roof.

Have you been naughty or nice? How sure are you, and why is this fat man and these feral [probably] reindeer creeping around your house at zero-dark-thirty?

Catch Santa in the act this year with some of TNVC’s greatest and most in-demand Night Vision, Thermal, and VAS accessories to get you in tip top shape to handle everything from rotund Scandinavian men to wild boars, with free FedEx Ground shipping on all purchases over $500!

This year for Black Friday, and starting on November 29th, TNVC is offering our Industry Standard TNV/PVS-14 system with L3 OMNI VIII Gen. 3 Autogated thin-filmed Green Phosphor image intensifier tubes, the same types of units used by our warfighters overseas that will meet or exceed OMNI VIII MIL-SPECs for performance. These are not blems, discounted overruns, export fallouts, or bump and scratch tubes and units that we’re trying to unload, but regular production, newly built TNV/PVS-14 units, each coming with the full accessory kit our new, fully transferable TNVC Lifetime Limited Warranty that covers TNV housings and systems for the lifetime of the unit, and image intensifier tubes for ten years after the purchase date.

These TNV/PVS-14 units are in-stock and ready to ship, and available in black housings only, and are on sale for $2,850 (an over 10% discount) from November 29th until supplies last!

TNV/PVS-14 L3 OMNI VIII – $2,850

Night Vision and Thermal are the pillars of the warfighter, law enforcement officer, and civilian enthusiat’s toolkit, but they both have their own advantages and limitations, which is why more an more organizations are beginning to use Night Vision/Thermal Fusion systems, whether you’re talking about the Army’s ENVG-B program or the new Marine Corps Squad Binocular NVG (SBNVG), which combine both thermal imaging and image intensification into one integrated unit that allows you to use both simultaneously–no opening or closing one eye to look through one side or the other, the Optics1 AN/PAS-29A Clip-On Thermal Imager (COTI) is in use by USSOCOM to give enhanced capabilities and NV/thermal fusion to existing systems by projecting a thermal image into the Night Vision Device, allowing the user to detect thermal signatures of hidden or camouflaged enemies or animals and through smoke, fog, or other obscuration, as well as in lighting conditions where traditional image intensification alone may struggle.

The COTI can be set to Outline, Patrol, or Full Thermal mode and be used with standard IR lasers, and has a built in compass for navigation and orientation, and can be quickly attached and detached from any PVS-14 style, PVS-15, or BNVD (PVS-31)-style system and is small and lightweight (5.8 oz. including internal battery) enough to wear full-time as part of any visual augmentation system suite, and great for working in attics, basements, or even chimneys…

Previously, the AN/PAS-29A COTI has been expensive and difficult to get due to restrictions on commercial and Law Enforcement sales and complex distribution channels, making Fusion Technology largely inaccessible to many consumers except for expensive old-generation devices with limited product and manufacturer support.

TNVC is happy to be able to announce that we are now a Direct Distributor for Safran/Optics1, and are able to offer the AN/PAS-29A COTI directly from the manufacturer with full product support–and while they are still not “cheap,” we’re happy to announce that we will be offering them for Black Friday at a new low price of $5,350 each from November 29th to December 13th, including the accessory kit with the appropriate bracket for mounting to your NVD*.

TNVC Optics1 AN/PAS-29A COTI – $5,350

*these units will have a lead time of approximately 60 days

BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE!

In addition to these exciting devices, TNVC is also offering a Catch Santa Black Friday Doorbuster Sale on select accessories from November 29th to December 2nd using the code CATCHSANTA2019:

Former Parent Company of Revision Military Announces Name Change To Galvion

Tuesday, November 26th, 2019

MONTREAL, Quebec, Canada (November 26, 2019) – Following the recent announcement of the sale of its protective eyewear business to ASGARD Partners & Co., the remaining Armor, Soldier Power and Electronics, Vehicle Platform Power and Advanced Concept divisions of Revision Military will move forward under the new corporate name GALVION.

“Eyewear was the foundation on which the company was built and early on, the Revision name became synonymous with our world-class military eye protection. Today, the company’s portfolio has grown to encompass a much wider range of active and integrated systems, and strategically, it made sense for the Revision name to stay with the legacy eyewear business,” said CEO, Jonathan Blanshay. “As Galvion, we move forward with a sharpened focus, and a mission to provide solutions that enhance the overall agility and survivability of the modern military and tactical operator. We exist to empower them to meet both the immediate and future challenges they may face,” added Blanshay.

Galvion will continue to design and manufacture protective head and torso products, develop customized power supply and management solutions for both soldier and vehicle, and invest in the development of advanced concept, integrated systems based on human-centered innovation and deep end-user insights. “Our focus is on active, performance-enhancing equipment – making the soldier faster, lighter and more connected than ever before. For Galvion, it will always be about providing the absolute best solutions for operators, with the ultimate goal for protective gear to be the last line of defense, rather than the first,” said Blanshay.

“As a company, our strength has always been the caliber, passion and ingenuity of our people, and as a team, we are incredibly excited to build the Galvion name and brand while continuing to honor our history as a company,” continued Blanshay. Customers, vendors and partners should expect the same dedicated design, engineering, sales and support team at Galvion, along with an energized commitment to exceed expectation and imagination. Additional information regarding name change and conducting business with the new corporate entity will be shared with partners as available.

MELLS Guided Missile for the German Infantry: Bundeswehr Awards Rheinmetall Multi-Million-Euro Contract

Tuesday, November 26th, 2019

Rheinmetall and its joint venture partners Diehl Defence and Rafael have won an order to supply the Bundeswehr with the advanced MELLS antitank guided missile. Rheinmetall is tasked with supplying key components to Eurospike, the company that manufactures the MELLS multirole lightweight guided missile system. For Rheinmetall, this represents an order intake of over €30 million without valued added tax.

Delivery begins in 2020 and continues through to 2023. A framework agreement contains an option for the fabrication and delivery of around 100 additional weapon systems and a five-figure number of component sets for the MELLS guided missile during the 2024-2031 timeframe. This would mean incoming orders for Rheinmetall in the three-digit million-euro range.

The MELLS missiles now ordered by the Bundeswehr are intended for infantry operations. Rheinmetall will be supplying over a hundred integrated command and launch units, including transport and storage containers, as well as 1,500 sets with components for the long-range Spike LR missile produced by Rafael.

Produced by Eurospike – a joint venture of Rheinmetall, Diehl Defence and Rafael – the MELLS is a state-of-the-art effector capable of engaging armoured targets at ranges of up to 4,000 metres.

Rheinmetall can point to abundant expertise and experience with the MELLS. The Düsseldorf, Germany-based company has already integrated this advanced missile system into the Marder infantry fighting vehicle, and is doing so again in the Puma IFV. In addition, another contractor is currently integrating the system into Rheinmetall’s air-portable Wiesel/Wiesel weapons carrier.

Looking ahead, more extensive networking of the command and launch units and guided missiles with Rheinmetall-made soldier systems like the Future Soldier – Expanded System (IdZ-ES) and the TacNet battle management system offers significant future potential, which will further optimize the sensor-to-shooter sequence.
