L-3 Warrior Systems’ AN/PVS-31 Binocular Night Vision Device (BNVD) is a compact, lightweight, Gen 3 dual tube goggle. It has an ergonomic low-profile design and offers superior situational awareness compared to a single tube goggle. Working directly with input from SOF Operators, the AN/PVS-31 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 as compared to currently fielded dual tube goggles. The AN/PVS-31 is a follow-on to the legacy, battle proven AN/PVS-15.
