With a total system weight that is less than 440 grams, the new MINI B AA 18mm, Dual Tube Night Vision Goggle with Single Gain Control is part of NVD’s new light-weight product line. The system features a “Tactical Monocular Cutoff” which turns off power to each channel of the monocular whenever a channel is rotated up out of the user’s line of sight which assists the warfighter in maintaining light-security on the battlefield. The MINI B AA 18mm additionally provides an automatic system power cutoff when the system is transitioned onto the helmet’s mounted stow position, and then powers back on when it is flipped back down. This feature can additionally be disabled by the end user if needed.
The MINI B AA 18mm can operate with either one “AA” Battery which powers the system for 40+ hours, or when used in conjunction with the optional three “AA” battery pack, the MINI B AA will run for a continuous 50+ hours.
The MINI B incorporates new high performance optics that are not only much lighter, but also offer higher performance than standard optics. Currently the AN/PVS-14 and most other night vision systems, use optics which were only designed for green (P43) phosphor image tubes. However these new optics were designed specifically to be optimized for both White (P45) and Green (P43) image tubes.
The optional external battery pack will only work with our Night Vision Devices manufactured binoculars with an external power port in order to extend the operating life of the system. If you would like to use this battery pack with this system, you must add the power port now when first assembled. The body cannot be modified afterwards. You may however, add the battery port now and purchase the battery pack at a later time.
NVD can customize builds for our MINI B AA 18mm system with image intensifiers from either Elbit Systems of America®, Photonis® or L3Harris®. NVD can additionally deliver many system applicable accessories for end-user kit customization to meet every low-light requirement for ground mission applications. Like all NVD goggles, this system features a complete diopter focus of +2 to -6, and IR LED and a close focus of 9.8 inches (25 cm) and a 66 foot submersion capability.
