The fact is that a "dual tube" night vision optical system has proven to be more effective and safe for low light conditions compared to a "pseudo binocular" system, commonly known as "PVS-7", which is a "one lens - two eyes" type of NVD.
The crucial issue in modern military is the "survivability" of a soldier.Depth perception of such "dual tube" device allows using this set for operating various machines, boats etc., in addition to basic ground operations. PVS-31C is considered as the most favorable night vision goggles in new procurements regardless the higher cost while comparing with "one-tube-NVD".
PVS-31C is high performance modular, multi-purpose night vision binocular. Precisely and ruggedly built housing and optics meet and in some cases exceed military specifications.
PVS-31C can be used as a handheld device or with head gear, helmet mount assemblies for hands free use. Device has a built-in short range Infrared Illuminator, light overload sensor and Manual Gain Control (optional, with selected IIT).PVS-31C works with a single AA battery or with a single CR123 battery. Compatible with most IR laser aiming and illuminating devices and is fully MIL-STD-810E compliant and ITAR-free.
