The Binocular Night Vision Device (BNVD) is a rugged, compact, lightweight, Gen III dual-tube goggle with an ergonomic, low-profile design and offers superior situational awareness compared to a single-tube goggle. The BNVD is a follow-on to our legacy battle-proven AN/PVS-15, but offers more features for increased survivability.

The BNVD’s twin-tube design provides protection in the field against failure or damage versus a single-tube night vision goggle. It can be used as a monocular when necessary to allow for the dominant and non-dominant eye by rotating either the left or right optic in the stowed position.

L3Harris manufactures multiple variants of the BNVD to meet the unique needs of our customers. Those variants include the AN/PVS-31A for U.S. Special Forces, the AN/PVS-31C for the U.S. Air Force, and our BNVD variant for the Republic of Korea (ROK), known as the PVS-31K within the ROK Armed Forces.
