TNVC’s New WASP

Wednesday, January 19th, 2011

We just wrote that Tactical Night Vision Company would have a new scope in their SHOT Show booth (#6502) and sure enough they revealed the new Weapon-Mounted Advanced Sighting Platform (WASP) to us today. This is a production prototype and has been banged around in repeated field tests, so the fit and finish in delivery models will be a little more polished. For example, the final production version will include hard anodized coatings, battery cap tethers, a knurled ring for the diopter focus, along with many other refinements.

In fact, TNVC President Victor Di Cosola related to us that, “because of the tremendous glass and optic resolution, the NV Intensifier tube is now the only limiting factor for resolution. A true 64 or 72 Line Pair of intensifier tube resolution can be easily achieved through the WASP’s optic at its fixed 8x magnification.” TNVC is now taking pre-orders for a spring release.

TNVC Introduces New PVS-14 Mount

Friday, May 28th, 2010

The TNVC TM14 is a lightweight, low profile mounting solution for the standard issue AN/PVS-14 Night Vision Monocular. It is designed to allow rapid attach and detach from the Aimpoint Twist Mount Base. It clamps around the PVS-14 Objective Lens Locking Ring and has a low-profile footprint for interfacing with the Aimpoint Twist Mount base. The footprint faces forward under the objective lens, allowing the operator to quickly and easily index the unit into place. Its low profile ring locks with a single machine screw located at the base, leaving an uninterrupted band around the objective lens housing. This feature keeps the TM-14 from interfering with the Gain Knob and IR Illuminator.

The purpose of the TM14 is to provide an ultra-fast and secure method of transitioning the PVS-14 between helmet and weapon mounts. The placement of the adapter allows both the TM-14 and J-Arm to stay on the optic at all times and means you can transition the PVS-14 in seconds and with only one hand! The modern battlefield is proliferated with bad guys wearing night vision. More and more, the Warfighter and Law Enforcement Professional must employ night vision systems in a passive mode as IR lasers broadcast their position from exceedingly long range. The ability to transition from active to passive NV is essential, allowing the good guys to stay a step ahead.

TNVC and Magpul Dynamics Announce Night Fighting Course

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Tactical Night Vision Company and Magpul Dynamics have teamed up to offer a new Dynamic Night Operators curriculum to be added to the Magpul Dynamics course offerings.

This new Night Operators course will leverage the extensive experience of the training team to provide students with the skills, tactics, and mentality necessary to conduct successful nighttime operations and survive under fire. Victor Di Cosola, President of TNVC, Travis Haley, and Chris Costa, Founders of Magpul Dynamics, approach night vision training by focusing on practical application of real word skills, disciplined mindset, and a thorough understanding of the equipment and tactics needed to survive a no-light gun fight. Very much a hands on course, the instructors encourage students to find their own way by constantly evolving, changing, and improving their skills.

The decision by TNVC and Magpul Dynamics to join forces was made because of the realization that the threats presented to Warfighters, Law Enforcement professionals, and private sector clients often occur at night. The ability to engage threats in low/no light while deploying night vision devices is a critical skill and presents a distinct advantage to the good guys. Victor Di Cosola, Travis Haley, and Chris Costa, along with the Magpul Dynamics Training Team, will give students a thorough introduction to night vision gear; the good, the bad, and the ugly, while presenting a solid and unique system for threat engagement in the dark. By combining the minds of these two innovative companies, a better product can be developed in conjunction with the latest training techniques, tactics, and a firsthand knowledge of the modern battlefield.
