Description:
The Proton Lite is a fully mechanical, mission‑ready night vision platform built for users who value reliability above all else. Its housing is precision‑machined from 7075‑T6 aerospace aluminum, giving it exceptional strength and durability in harsh environments. Each optical pod is individually sealed and nitrogen‑purged, ensuring consistent performance in rain, humidity, rapid temperature changes, and demanding field conditions.
Designed around a modular architecture, the Proton Lite allows effortless configuration as either a monocular or binocular using the same pods. With minimalistic controls, independent flip‑activation, and complete user‑level serviceability using only a screwdriver, it eliminates unnecessary electronics and common failure points. The result is a rugged, adaptable, and field‑maintainable night vision system built for real‑world operations where simplicity and reliability matter most.

Image intensifier tubes:
Device is supplied with NNVT Gen 2+ green and white phosphor image intensifier tubes.
The NNVT Gen 2+ green and white phosphor image intensifier tubes provide incredible value for the cost and provide friendly price point without the significant performance sacrifices. NNVT intensifiers have good performance in mixed-lighting conditions.
NNVT FOM1600+ image intensifier tubes adopts new MCP processing technology and new photocathode process. It is equipped with autogating and has the characteristics of high all-weather reliability. Compared with NVT4, its sensitivity is increased to more than 800, and the SNR is greater than 25.
NNVT FOM1800+ and higher image intensifier tubes uses the latest S25R photocathode manufacturing technology. The photocathode sensitivity is higher than 1000μA/lm@2856K, and it has high sensitivity in the near-infrared band. The spectral range is from 380nm to 1100nm, with higher spectral sensitivity in the near-infrared band, capable of imaging 1064nm lasers with halo reduced to less than 0.7mm.
