L3 GPNVG Key Features
The L3Harris Ground Panoramic Night Vision Goggle (GPNVG) features a guaranteed minimum FOM of 2376+.
The GPNVG excels in low-light conditions thanks to its high Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and low Equivalent Background Illumination (EBI), ensuring clear images even in minimal light.
Unlike traditional night vision goggles that offer a 40° field of view, the L3Harris GPNVG offers an expansive 97° field of view.
Yes, the GPNVG is waterproof and submersible up to 66 feet, making it suitable for a variety of operational environments.
The GPNVG operates for approximately 30+ hours on a single battery pack, providing extended usability in the field.
The GPNVG 18 Night Vision Goggles has a 1x magnification, designed for optimal situational awareness without altering the natural perception of distance.
Halo refers to the bright circle around lights when viewed through the GPNVG-18 NVG. It's a common trait of night vision optics and indicates exposure to a light source that is too bright, potentially affecting visibility.
The GPNVG 18 Night Vision offers an unparalleled field of view, spanning across a wide 97 degrees. This significantly surpasses the traditional field of view of 40 degrees found in most night vision systems, providing users with almost triple the visibility range. This expansive GPNVG view is crucial for situational awareness during night operations, allowing users to see a broader panorama without the need to turn their head excessively.

The term "20UA" refers to a high-performance night vision intensifier tube from L3Harris, designed for aviation use. These tubes have stringent quality standards for dark spots, allowing larger spots only in the outermost zone (Zone 3), ensuring a clearer image.
Key Features of 20UA Tubes:
Strict Spot Tolerance: Larger dark spots (> .003 inches) are only allowed in Zone 3, ensuring high image clarity.
High Performance:
Center Resolution: 64 lp/mm minimum
Figure of Merit (FOM): 1792 minimum
Halo: 1.0 maximum
Equivalent Background Illumination (EBI): 2.5 maximum
L3 20UA tubes offer excellent image quality with minimal imperfections, making them ideal for aviation and other high-demand applications.
Rechargeable batteries are prone to leaking, which can cause significant damage to the sensitive electronics and components within night vision goggles. This leakage can result in malfunctions or even complete failure of the device.
It is highly recommended to use lithium batteries for night vision goggles. Lithium batteries are more stable and less likely to leak, ensuring the longevity and optimal performance of your night vision equipment.
If your GPNVG-18 are not turning on, follow these steps:
Dark spots are small black dots you might see when looking through night vision goggles (NVGs). They occur because of tiny imperfections in the intensifier tube, which helps amplify light to let you see in the dark. These spots don't usually affect how well you can see. Intensifier tubes have three zones:
Zone 1: The central area where you look the most. It's the clearest part.
Zone 2: The middle ring around Zone 1. This zone might have a few more imperfections.
Zone 3: The outer edge. This zone can have the most imperfections, but it doesn't affect your view much because it's on the edges.
The fewer dark spots an NVG has, the higher its quality and price. NVGs with almost no dark spots are typically more expensive because they have better intensifier tubes. However, a few dark spots are normal, and as long as they don't block your view too much, your NVGs should work just fine.
