In modern combat, sudden light bursts from muzzle flashes or explosions can blind night vision devices (NVDs) or cause permanent damage. The industry has jointly developed solutions that safeguard equipment and ensure clear vision during critical moments.

Traditional NVDs risk overload when intense light hits, leading to washed-out images and potential phosphor screen burnout. MHNV’s technology counters this with three key features. First, our auto-gating power supply reacts in under a microsecond—1,000 times faster than the human eye. When sensors detect light exceeding a certain brightness level, the system either cuts power or reduces amplification, preventing overload. After a light event, smart recovery algorithms kick in. Instead of sudden brightness that causes disorienting afterimages, our systems ramp up sensitivity over 500 milliseconds. A built-in lux meter samples ambient light every 10 milliseconds, automatically adjusting contrast for clear vision in any lighting.

We offer tailored NVDs to fit various missions. The lightweight MHNV PVS-14 monocular (325g) suits reconnaissance, while the MHNV PVS-31 binoculars with advanced auto-gating and IBF are ideal for long combat missions. Vehicle crews can rely on our customized systems with wide field-of-view and anti-glare protection.
