An exciting new partnership has been brewing in late 2011 and we are happy to announce that in 2012, Jeff Westphal Racing and Tactical Night Vision Company will be working together during Jeff’s Grand Am Continental Sports Car campaign with Insight Racing in the #19 BMW M3.

Jeff Westphal was introduced to TNVC CEO, Victor Di Cosola at Infineon Raceway while attending Jim Russell Racing School (now Simraceway Performance Driving) where the two had a significant amount of business similarities, making it a wise choice for a technical partnership. “TNVC and Victor operate with a high level of precision, which helps give our military and law enforcement customers an advantage over the opposition, the same type of attention to detail and precision that I look for in a race team. I have been working with Insight Racing since mid 2011, and they are the perfect ally to have with the JWR and TNVC partnership as their endurance racing background is so detail dependent and oriented.” Explained Jeff “TNVC and I will be working together with Insight Racing to help bring awareness of tactical equipment for consumers around the globe, as well as expand business opportunities for industry related companies.”

TNVC is a California based company with operations based in Wisconsin and California.. They supply many branches of the US Government, and U.S. Law Enforcement with Night Vision products and training. Victor Di Cosola, The President/CEO was and is adamant about creating a knowledgeable company for people to learn about and purchase proper night vision equipment, the type and quality resource he would have loved during his early years. “I take much pride in being able to help save the lives of our boys overseas, anything I can do to give them a leg up on the opposition, TNVC is ready to support them. I have a great respect for what our troops go through, as well as any professional in their industry. To be at the top of your craft in anything it takes much dedication and skill, so I am confident TNVC has partnered with the right people in motorsports to help elevate the image of all the parties involved.” Said Victor.

You will be able to catch Jeff Westphal and TNVC in the 2012 Continental Tire Sports Car Series races with the Insight Racing #19 BMW M3, broadcast on Speed channel.

Re-Focus Ring

Friday, August 12th, 2011

Anyone who’s worn a night vision device can tell you that it is a pain to have to refocus your lens when transitioning fro looking at a an object in the distance to something closeup such as a weapon or map. The Re-Focus Ring (RFR) from O’gara is now available exclusively from Tactical Night Vision Company.

Designed as a monocle that flips up and down to instantly transition from infinity to an instant close focus of 18”. Standard baseline focus of NODs is about 15’ out. Anything closer starts to get progressively more blurry. Traditionally, the operator needed to manually refocus the objective and diopter or replace the objective lens cap on the goggle to get a close focus which usually requires two hands and lots of fumbling in the dark. The RFR requires a half second to flip up or down, allowing the operator to refocus on the fly.

The RFR has been in service with special operations units for years and now it’s available to you from www.tnvc.com

More on the Laser Devices Civilian Class I Lasers

Tuesday, February 15th, 2011

Now that they have been out for a few weeks, we are able to give some additional information on the Laser Devices Civilian Class I Lasers available exclusively from Tactical Night Vision Company. This article will concentrate on the Dual Beam Aiming Laser – Intelligent² (DBAL-I2) Class I which happens to be an excellent value. It is offered in Black or Tan case with Green or Red visible laser.

TNVC took the unit out and was able to clearly discern the laser’s circular pattern to up to 100 yards but noticed degradation beginning at 115 yards. Additionally, TNVC found the lower power to work to their advantage in a CQB environment as more high powered lasers are prone to bloom on walls, particularly light colored walls. Finally, they found that the IR illuminator did not wash out the visible laser.

This is the first time that Laser Devices products have been offered to the public. Please note that it is STILL an ITAR controlled item. For more information, or to order visit www.tnvc.com.
