AN/PVS-31 – Night Vision Goggles for Special Forces

The AN/PVS-31 BNVD (Binocular Night Vision Device) by L3Harris sets new global standards in professional night vision technology.

As the lightest and most compact binocular night vision goggle with 18 mm tubes on the market, it is specifically designed for the most demanding military operations and is used by the most elite special forces units worldwide.

It is no coincidence that USSOCOM (United States Special Operations Command) relies consistently on this high-end system and has already placed multiple large-scale orders for the L3 AN/PVS-31.

Highest Quality & Performance

The BNVD impresses with a weight of only 450 g, ensuring outstanding ergonomics and minimal strain for the user.

At the same time, it offers advanced features, including:

✔ Manual Gain – Manual adjustment of image intensification for optimal visibility
✔ Auto Shut-Off – Power-saving shutdown when the device is flipped up
✔ Rotating Function – Flexible switching between monocular and binocular use
✔ Low-Profile Design – Optimized for helmet mounting, reducing overall profile and reflections

Thanks to its exceptional optical performance and advanced Generation 3 unfilmed tube technology, the AN/PVS-31 reaches a level of performance that is unmatched—trusted by units such as US Navy SEALs, Delta Force, and other elite forces worldwide.

Reliability & Extended Operation

The AN/PVS-31 operates on a single AA battery, providing up to 16 hours of continuous runtime—an outstanding level of efficiency in its class.

Designed for the most demanding military environments, it replaces the proven AN/PVS-15, which served as the standard system for many years—highlighting the significant technological advancement of this platform.

Availability – Restricted to Government & Military

Due to its performance and strategic importance, the AN/PVS-31 BNVD is available exclusively through official government procurement.

A service or military ID alone is not sufficient to place an order.

Conclusion

With the AN/PVS-31 BNVD, military and specialized operational units receive one of the most powerful and advanced night vision systems in the world—a key factor for tactical superiority and maximum operational efficiency.
