L3Harris Ground Panoramic Night Vision Goggle (GPNVG) Now Available for Commercial Sale EXCLUSIVELY at TNVC!

Saturday, January 23rd, 2021

January 22, 2021, The Worldwide Web

You asked for it, we got it…

Hot on the heels of the commercial release of the L3Harris BNVD (AN/PVS-31A), BNVD1531, Factory M914A PVS-14 MNVDs, and the M2124LR CNVD-LR, TNVC is proud to finally announce the release of the last product in our vSHOTT lineup, the L3Harris Ground Panoramic Night Vision Goggle (GPNVG). TNVC is a full distributor for ALL products within the L3Harris Integrated Vision Solutions portfolio, offering finished goods direct from L3Harris.

tnvc.com/shop/l3harris-gpnvg-ruggedized-bridge/

Featuring L3Harris’ improved Ruggedized Bridge design, offering greater strength and durability during rough use in the field, as well as four high performance, MIL-SPEC Unfilmed White Phosphor image intensifier tubes that combine using specialized hybrid optics to provide the end user with an umatched 97o degree field of view, as opposed to the standard 40o field of view provided by traditional binocular night vision systems.

Previously requiring approval from DoD program managers even for government agencies, by working in close cooperation with L3Harris, TNVC has been able to not only lower barriers to armed professionals with the need and means for these capabilities, but to secure exclusive commercial distribution rights to the GPNVG.

The advantages of the increased, panoramic field of view offered by the GPNVGs cannot be overstated. Not only do they have obvious benefits for assaulters, but they offer critical situational awareness to vehicle and watercraft operators, increasing safety and reaction/response time. When used by multiple operators working in a team, the GPNVGs have a multiplicative effect, offering greatly enhanced security with interlocked fields of fire and observation, reducing operator fatigue and “giving up” dead space when scanning surroundings.

These brand new systems, available exclusively at TNVC for commercial sales will come with a complete factory warranty from L3Harris and continuing product support, even after the stated warranty period has ended, as well as factory Tube Data Records for each of the four, matched and collimated MIL-SPEC MX-10160 format Unfilmed White Phosphor image intensifier tubes. The units also come complete with a CR123 powered external battery pack (required for operation, as the GPNVG has no onboard power supply), and are available in BOTH ANVS Ball-Detent format and BNVS Dovetail format mounting configurations with the appropriate cables to function with the mounting configuration.

The systems are available for order now at TNVC, with deliveries beginning in Q2 of 2021 and will be a regular part of TNVC’s commercial, military, and law enforcement product lineup, and are available for Professional Level dealers, as well as agency and unit pricing through TNVC.

tnvc.com/shop/l3harris-gpnvg-ruggedized-bridge

TNVC has always been at the leading edge of bringing the best possible night vision, thermal, and other visual augmentation systems (VAS) products to the market as possible, not only to military and law enforcement and other government agencies, but also the commercial market.

TNVC is proud to be able to add the L3Harris GPNVG to the list of previously commercially unavailable products that we have been able to bring to market, including the L3Harris BNVD family, offering U.S. citizens and patriots the same cutting edge capabilities as our most elite special operations units. TNVC always has and always will advocate for lawful Citizens to have access to the very best in technology and capabilities, and we’re excited to continue to work with the very best partners in the industry to bring great products to the market.

The L3Harris GPNVG is an ITAR controlled item and is not for export without proper licensing and approval.

Extremely durable, high contrast thermal markers attach to your vehicle so you won’t lose track of your help on the ground. Air units detect the markers on the vehicles below with a thermal device for better command and control. The passive thermal markers need no charging or power to fully operate. The sharp contrast of the markers minimizes risk and maximizes results in the heat of the operation.
