American Technologies Network (ATN) has introduced a new multi-purpose ATN NVG-7 series of night vision goggles (NVGs) designed to operate as a hand-held, head-mounted or helmet-mounted night vision device.
The single-tube NVG is built around a high-grade 18mm Gen 2+ or Gen 3 Image Intensifier Tube and uses a binocular style design for convenience. Lightweight and compact, the NVG-7 is housed in a durable body and has a built-in IR light source for close-up illumination in total darkness. Other features include auto-brightness, bright source shut-off and an adjustable interpupillary distance. The system is water and fog resistant and the all-glass optics are multi-coated to provide brilliant clarity with no distortion.
The ATN NVG-7 series is available in 1X with 3X, 5X and 8X optional lenses available. It comes with a flip-up head mount assembly, brow pads, eye cups, day light filter, manual, lens tissue and one 3V lithium CR123A battery in a soft carrying case. The NVG-7 series is available as Gen 2+ or CGT, HPT, Gen 3, Gen 3A, Gen 3P and WPT models.
The new series is designed for the law enforcement, security and marine markets.
