AN/PVS-14 (Army/Navy Portable Visual Search) is a compact and versatile night vision monocular. The AN/PVS-14 has become a standard device for U.S. Army units and is widely used by military and law enforcement agencies worldwide due to its reliability, ergonomics, and adaptability to various operational scenarios.

White Phosphor Technology Advantages

The device is equipped with a White Phosphor image intensifier tube, producing a high-contrast black-and-white image with enhanced detail. This image format appears more natural to the human eye, improves object and target recognition, and reduces eye fatigue during prolonged use. It performs particularly well under starlight or extremely low-light conditions.

Functionality & Ergonomics

As a monocular system, it allows one eye to remain dark-adapted while the other maintains natural vision. This enables rapid transition between aided and unaided viewing without losing situational awareness — critical in dynamic environments.

The device can be used:

• as a handheld monocular,

• helmet-mounted,

• adapted to various platforms using compatible mounts.
