Description
L3Harris GPNVG-18 (Ground Panoramic Night Vision Goggle)
The L3Harris GPNVG-18 (Ground Panoramic Night Vision Goggle) is an extremely lightweight panoramic night vision goggle. The GPNVG was designed by L3 in conjunction with USSOCOM to provide operators a wider field of view in a lightweight and rugged package. The unit features a 97° panoramic field of view, four-tube pano design, a battery pack, and incredible tube resolution.
The GPNVG-18 can be run both off of the included CR123 battery pack or a cold-weather PVS-31 battery pack. One great advantage of using a battery pack is the speed in which the goggles can be operational. With the GPNVG, the user simply drops the dovetail on a Wilcox G24 mount and plugs the battery cable into the battery pack port on the GPNVG housing.
The GPNVG-18 has a fixed bridge housing with independently detachable optical pods. This allows the user to deploy a single optical pod for handheld applications with a wider field of view than a traditional monocular night vision device. When an optical pod is detached from the bridge, it is powered off the included battery power adapter.
Tube Specs
The GPNVG-18 uses L3Harris Unfilmed White Phosphor autogated image intensifier tubes with a 2376 minimum FOM rating from the factory. These unfilmed tubes provide incredible clarity, low-light and high-light performance, and increased depth perception. These are L3’s most advanced intensifier tubes and offer significant performance increases over other white phosphor systems.
2376 Minimum FOM Unfilmed White Phosphor:
- FOM: 2376 minimum
- Milspec Spot Spec: can have max 4 spots per tube larger than 0.003″, no spots larger than 0.003″ in zone 1. Spots ≤ 0.003″ are acceptable.
