Redlands, CA – As a Veteran-Owned company, TNVC has always been devoted to serving those who serve. From hiring veterans to providing the best in products, services, training, and support to our military, law enforcement, and first responders, we have always had a special place in our hearts for those willing place themselves in harm’s way in the service of others, because most of us have been there before.

TNVC has long since had a First Responder Discount in place for individual purchases for military, law enforcement, fire, EMS, and other first responders who hold the line every day (and night) between order and chaos, risking their lives to help complete strangers and asking little in return.

In the face of an unusual threat, however, today’s medical professionals, doctors, nurses, and technicians are manning the “front lines” all across the nation and the globe, in many cases at great personal risk to themselves and their own lives to protect the lives of others, of strangers, like any other first responder.

For this reason, we have decided to expand eligibility for our First Responder Discount to ALL medical providers and professionals, not just EMS/EMTs.

“We’ve always supported First Responders, and our medical professionals are at the forefront of this fight, risking their lives every day to treat others. While others may have the option to shelter-in-place in the comfort of their homes, our medical professionals are working around the clock, in many cases isolated from their families. They deserve our respect and our gratitude for their bravery and dedication, and they are truly the first line of defense in these difficult times.”

– Victor DiCosola, President & CEO

Tactical Night Vision Company (TNVC) is proud to announce that the TNVC-ABCA (ANVS to BNVS Cable Adapter) for the USSOCOM-issued AN/PVS-31A BNVD, also adopted by many law enforcement agencies, as well as the L3Harris GPNVG-18, BNVD-1531, and other night vision devices using the BNVS external power connector is now in stock and shipping!

The TNVC-ABCA provides a cost effective alternative to proprietary OEM power supplies that allows end users to power night vision devices using a BNVS-style external power connection port* using the AB Night Vision Low Profile Battery Pack–Ground Optimized (LPBP-GO) and AI Air/Ground Warrior remote battery packs or other compatible power supplies using the Legacy LEMO connector, and allowing them to use both AA and CR123 batteries allowing for greater flexibility at a much lower cost than the OEM external power supplies.

Most existing ANVS external power supplies such as the AB Night Vision LPBP-GO utilize an ANVIS-style LEMO connector that is not compatible with the BNVS-style connection used on many next generation night vision devices that cannot be used with their night vision devices, frustrating users**. The cost of OEM BNVS-style power supplies can prohibitive, especially when units are lost or damaged or spares are needed.

While many night vision devices have on board battery capabilities, many end users prefer the extended battery life offered by using external power supplies in conjunction with their night vision devices, especially in colder weather, while devices like the GPNVG-18 have no on board battery capabilities. Furthermore, moving the power supply to the back of the helmet in an external power supply can help to counterweight night vision devices mounted on the front of the helmet, improving user comfort and reducing neck strain and fatigue.

The TNVC-ABCA was developed in partnership with the OEM manufacturer of the BNVS power connector, and features a durable, shielded cable and a rubberized BNVS connector housing and uses authentic OEM connectors rather than aftermarket components.

The TNVC-ABCA is available in both 6” and 8” cable lengths to accommodate a wide range of helmet mounting and cable routing configurations (custom cable lengths available via special order), and available individually for $224.98

Both the 6″ and 8″ versions can also be purchased as a package with the AB Night Vision LPBP-GO and popular TNVC Mohawk MK II Gen. 2 in Multicam, Coyote Tan, Ranger Green, Black, Multicam Black, Multicam Tropic, or Multicam Arid for $549.95, a savings of over $100 over buying the components separately.

Dealer and government/agency pricing available. For all product inquiries or retail or dealer sales, please contact sales@tnvc.com. For military, agency, or government sales, please contact govsales@tnvc.com

*The TNVC-ABCA is not compatible with night vision devices using a LEMO connection port, such as the TNV/RNVG or TNV/PVS-14-PBM-A

**The TNVC-ABCA will work with some, but not all Legacy issued aviation (ANVIS) Low Profile Battery Packs due to production variances in issued-LPBPs, and TNVC, INC. cannot guarantee function with all ANVIS battery packs

NEWINGTON, N.H., (February 25, 2020) – SIG SAUER Electro Optics is pleased to introduce the ECHO3 Thermal Reflex Sight. The ECHO3 is a direct view thermal sight, utilizing SIG SAUER BDX technology, with the capability to capture images and record video in eight different color palettes.

“The ECHO3 is an ultra-compact, lightweight direct-view thermal sight,” said Andy York, President, SIG SAUER Electro-Optics. “The innovative direct-view thermal display on the ECHO3 is a massive improvement over traditional eyepiece style thermals which induce eye fatigue and force the shooter to look through the sight.
