Description:
The Nighthawk-MG is a tough, feature packed device built to perform in harsh conditions. The housing is precision machined from 7075-T6 aircraft grade aluminum, ensuring durability in demanding environments. The binocular includes rotary controls for power and IR illuminator, along with a secondary dial for manual gain (brightness) adjustment of the image intensifier tubes. It operates on a single onboard CR123 battery or can utilize an external power source connected via a 4-pin LEMO-style plug. The binocular also features an interpupillary adjustment to fit a range of users comfortably. Its articulating design allows the optical pods to fold flat against the helmet when in the stowed position, reducing neck strain and protecting both the device and the user from potential impacts.
Each unit housing waterproof is tested and unit is collimated before it is delivered to customer.
Steele Industries Nighthawk-MG 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.
