The white phosphor BNVD is a follow-on to our legacy, battle-proven AN/PVS-15 and AN/PVS-31 standard green phosphor night vision goggles. The white light causes less eye fatigue which is important for continuous use. Users have reported that nighttime scenes show greater contrast and a brighter image with white phosphor. Working directly with input from SOF operators, the BNVD was designed to increase system resolution, significantly reduce head-borne weight, improve system center of gravity, provide additional operational utility, and improve overall situational awareness compared to currently fielded dual-tube goggles. This change in color has been reported to enhance overall object recognition while providing contrast sensitivity equivalent to green phosphor. The device has an ergonomic low-profile design and offers superior situational awareness compared to a single tube goggle. Head or helmet mounted, the PVS-14 allows the user to retain their. White phosphor offer various shades of intensity between black and white (over black and green), resulting in better contrast and depth perception. The PVS-14 is the all around best multi functional night vision monocular available. Low-light and nighttime maneuvers appear more natural in black and white, with added contrast detail in shapes and shadows providing the operator more visual information for assessment and acquisition. Theres nothing like versatility, and thats what ATNs PS15-WPT White Phosphor Technology Night Vision Goggles offer. Similarly, this enhanced, more natural view provides improved definition and clarity for the wearer. The AN/PVS-31A BNVD is a compact, lightweight, Gen III dual tube goggle with improved white phosphor tube technology for greater target detection and recognition. However, night vision today is vastly improved with a view made possible with white phosphor creating a black and white visual.
