SuperGain tubes have a Luminance Gain setting of between 100-120K, greatly increasing the image intensifier’s ability to amplify and collect light, resulting in a noticeably brighter image with increased low light performance and extending operational envelope and ability to see into dark areas. In addition, all TNVC SuperGain systems have a 2376+ Minimum Figure of Merit (FOM) specification, the highest performance level available to the wide market. The AN/PVS-31A BNVD is a dual tube goggle with improved white phosphor tube technology and an ergonomic low-profile design. It also has superior situational awareness compared to a single tube goggle and is designed to increase system resolution and significantly reduce head-borne weight. It is lightweight and smaller in size compared to PVS 15. The battery life is greater and lasts for a long time. The specification of PVS 31 is also higher than PVS 15. Pinnacle Elite Image Intensifier Tubes offer the ultimate in picture clarity due to stringent cosmetic standards that allow only a few IITs to qualify for the Pinnacle Elite designation. Pinnacle Elite tubes have almost 90% less imperfections than our Bravo tubes, only allowing up to two blemishes – one in Zone 2 and one in Zone 3, but microscopically small at under six mils. Every Pinnacle Elite tube has a minimum of 2000 FOM, combining top-end performance with a nearly pristine image. Armasight systems with Pinnacle Elite Image Intensifier Tubes are the systems of choice for law enforcement, military, and the most accomplished hunters.

One of the most sought after and frequently requested night vision products now on the commercial market—the L3Harris Binocular Night Vision Device (BNVD)! However, the DTNVG’s versatility and adaptability have made it a favorite among professionals across various industries. Conclusion Overall, it’s clear that the PVS-31 and PVS-15 are two of the best night vision systems available on the market today. With their advanced features, rugged construction, and reliable performance, they are the perfect choice for anyone who requires the very best in nighttime vision technology. Introduced commercially by TNVC in partnership with L3Harris, SuperGain is the latest image intensifier tube technology and one of the most significant evolutions in Generation 3 night vision systems and performance since the introduction of Unfilmed technology and available at TNVC as a new premium option. The winner is PVS 31. As you can see, it beats PVS 14 in almost every aspect. The design is more user friendly which is very important for a binocular.On the other hand, the PVS-31 (AN/PVS-31 BNVD) impresses with its dual tube configuration, delivering enhanced depth perception and situational awareness. The automatic brightness control adapts to varying light conditions, preventing image saturation. It has a higher resolution than PVS 15. Thus provides more clear images. Although it’s more expensive than PVS 15, judging by all these criteria it isn’t overpriced either. Night Vision PVS 31 beats Night Vision PVS 15 in terms of resolution. PVS 15 has a resolution of 64 Ip/mm whereas PVS 31 has a resolution of 72 Ip/mm. This means you’ll get a more clear image of your target through PVS 31. Automatic Brightness Control: This feature ensures the device adjusts its brightness automatically based on ambient light conditions, preventing image saturation in high-light areas.

AN/PVS-31A BNVD and SI/PVS-14 Elbit Thin Filmed White Phosphor are two night vision goggles designed for improved situational awareness and performance during low-light and nighttime maneuvers.Regarding weight, the RNVG is lighter than the PVS-31, which can be advantageous during extended missions or activities requiring minimal additional weight on the head. RNVG Vs PVS31 Vs DTNVG Night Vision Before jumping on to the long discussions, let’s take a look at the fundamental differences between both binoculars. Aspects
