ARNVG | Clear Gen 3 White Phosphor w/ IR for Total Darkness

• The AB Night Vision ARNVG is one of the toughest night vision goggles available, built for operators who need gear they can count on. Its housing is machined from strong 7075 aircraft-grade aluminum to handle harsh field use , while the articulating pods offer the flexibility to adapt to any situation. It's the go-to choice for anyone who needs to own the night without worrying about their equipment failing.
• Flip Pods Up Individually: You can rotate each optical pod up and out of the way on its own. This lets you instantly switch one eye to natural vision, or you can fold both pods back flat against your helmet to reduce neck strain. The pods also automatically shut off when flipped up to save power and prevent light from shining on your helmet.
• See in Pitch Black with L3 Supergain Tubes: Upgrade to L3 20UA Supergain tubes for an incredibly bright and clear white phosphor image. This top-tier option has a 2750+ FOM, letting you see details in the darkest conditions and giving you a serious advantage when there's almost no light.
• Waterproof to 66 Feet: The ARNVG is fully waterproof and can be submerged down to 66 feet , making it reliable for operations in any weather or wet conditions.
• Built-in IR for Total Darkness: The ARNVG has an onboard IR illuminator that acts like an invisible flashlight, letting you see clearly in situations with zero ambient light. A protective fence around the button helps prevent you from accidentally turning it on and giving away your position.

RNVGA FAQs

Is the ARNVG waterproof?

Yes, it is fully waterproof. It can be submerged in water up to 66 feet deep and still work perfectly.

What kind of battery does the RNVGA use and how long does it last? 

It uses one CR123 battery , which lasts for about 16 to 18 hours or more. You can also connect an external battery pack for longer missions using its built-in power port.

Can I get the ARNVG in different colors or with different lenses? 

Yes. Special housing colors and different lens types, like the RPO 4.0 ultralight lenses, are available by special request. Please contact us to submit a Request for Quote (RFQ) for your custom build.

What is the main difference: ARNVG vs DTNVS? 

The biggest difference is what they are made of. The ARNVG has a super tough metal housing made from 7075 aluminum, which makes it one of the most durable goggles available. The DTNVS has a housing made of a special fiber-reinforced plastic to be as lightweight as possible. Both are excellent articulating goggles, so the choice is often between the ARNVG's extreme ruggedness and the DTNVS's lighter weight.

What does "collimated" mean and how do you make sure the goggles work right? 

Collimation is a process that makes sure both eyepieces are perfectly aligned, so you see one clear image without getting a headache or eye strain. We assemble and test every single ARNVG in-house using advanced Hoffman ANV-126A machines to get this alignment perfect. Every unit we ship comes with a full test report so you can see its professional-grade quality for yourself.
