Product Description
Nocturn Industries UANVM TANTO | White Phosphor Night Vision Monocular
The Nocturn Industries UANVM TANTO Monocular is an Ultralight Adaptable, high quality, Night Vision Monocular. This versatile night vision device can be field repaired in minutes without complex disassembly, and provides superior images under all lighting conditions.
Named after the traditional Japanese weapon, The UANVM Tanto is the cornerstone of our adaptable series of night vision devices. This unit mounts via a standard PVS-14 J-arm mount. A unique feature of this monocular is its ability to be adapted to a proprietary powered articulating dual bridge mount called the TAB (Tanto Articulating Bridge) “Daisho” with minimal tools or extra parts. The innovative design allows users to transform their monoculars into an articulating binocular in seconds or go from a binocular back to a monocular to share with a partner. To transform into the binocular, simply remove the battery cap and battery, insert the bridge into the battery compartment, and tighten the rear clamp screws on the bridge, done. The bridge enables the use of a single battery for both tubes, has built in IP stops similar to the UANVB “Katana”, and other features when released.
*The Tanto Articulating Bridge will be released at a later date.
It is simple with a minimalist lightweight design. Push button on/off in the cap to reduce weight and reduce the footprint of the monocular. When assembled to the TAB “Daisho” bridge extra features are enabled such as articulation to the side for single or dual eye use. The articulating design also enables users to operate vehicles without limiting head space by eliminating the need to stow the unit upright or to tuck the pods against the helmet when stowed.
This unit is light weight without compromising strength. It is rugged and has been drop from the NATO 1.5 meter drop test standard onto concrete, as well as meets and exceeds MIL-STD-810G.

- L3 Filmless intensifier tubes are very high end and considered some of the best tubes on the market. These tubes offer unparalleled performance in lower light situations compared to your typical Elbit or other thin filmed GEN 3 tube.

Want the best performance on a moonless night or in very dark areas, then the L3 tubes are the way to go! These have a luminance gain of 40,000 - 80,000 fL/fc)
