Description
Description:
The Ultralight Articulating Night Vision Binocular aka UANVB “Katana” is the lightest binocular on the market to-date at a functional weight of 504g complete with standard milspec optics and battery installed.
The articulating design allows users to use one eye or both eyes enabling the simultaneous use of a thermal optic or other non-passive aiming systems. This also enables users to operate vehicles without limiting head space by eliminating the need to stow the unit upright or to tuck the pods against the helmet when stowed.
UANVB “Katana” is simple with a minimalist design. An onboard battery with no remote power keeps things simple and wires off the helmet. Push button on/off in the cap to reduce weight and reduce the footprint of the bridge. Individual pod power on/off when articulated to the side for single or dual eye use and to eliminate backsplash when stowed or rotated out.
An original new “Friction Lock Interpupillary Adjustment” feature allows users to quickly and easily set IP stop distance with a simple rotate into place and forget design. No tools or knobs.
This unit is light weight without compromising strength. It is rugged and exceeds MIL-STD-810H plus has been drop tested to the NATO 1.5 meter firearms drop test standard. Each unit housing waterproof is tested and unit is collimated before it is delivered to customer.
UANVB “Katana” is designed and hand built in New Hampshire, USA.

Image intensifier tubes:
Device is supplied with Photonis ECHO or 4G green and white phosphor image intensifier tube.
The Photonis ECHO technology is the commercial grade image intensifier tube by Photonis, offering two high performance grades to the commercial market for civilian users. ECHO image intensifier tubes serve many night vision applications for users that require good range and details at night and making them perfect for sport shooters, hunters, airsoft practioners and night vision enthusiasts. The ECHO14’s with UCD 14mm provide an image with a FOV of 36° compared to standard 40°.
The 4G Image Intensifier Tube (IIT) is a more affordable version than 4G+ while maintaining a high level of performance. 4G IIT provides operators high image quality and long detection ranges in the most challenging light conditions: brightness of equipment, longevity of intensifier tubes, ability to see farther in increasingly low levels of darkness and very fast auto-gating.
The Photonis 4G+ image intensifier tubes meet the stringent requirements of modern warfare at night to deliver end-users a very high performance in all field conditions. The 4G+ technology offers extended bandwidth for high image quality on all theatres of operation, a very fast auto-gating and a small halo providing more details around light sources. Thanks to a very high Figure Of Merit (FOM) and extended sensitivity, operators benefit from the best possible range in all types of environment.
