Product Overview
The UANVB Katana
(Ultralight Articulating Night Vision Binocular)
The Katana is a fully articulating night vision binocular that has a built in on/
off power function when pods are rotated into the out
(up) and in (down) positions. The pod on/off feature will operate individually
per pod. Left up/down will operate power on/off for left image intensifier
tube pod left. Right pod up/down will operate power on/off for right image
intensifier tube pod right. The binocular device features an all new “Friction
Lock Interpupillary Adjustment” system, the I.P.D stops that will allow the
user to set IP stop distance relative to user preference (space from left eye
to right eye). The binocular device uses infinity locking rings that will allow
user (or manufacturer) to set maximum focus distance on the front
objective lens to infinity enabling quick adjustment between “close” and
“far” focus distance with a firm stop at maximum focus every time. The
night vision binocular will feature a rear tensioning plate fastening the pod
housings to the bridge (center) of the device. The tensioning plate will
feature 1 screw on each plate, that when tightened or loosened will adjust
friction tension, that translates to how stiff or soft the ability to articulate out
(up) and in (down) will feel. Loosened being a softer looser articulation and
tighter being a stiffer tighter articulation. The night vision device will have a
hard on/off power button that will power the device on and will only power
off if clicked into the power off cycle or if pods are articulated into the out
(up) position at an angle appropriate to activate individual power off
feature. If power is hard cycled on and pods are articulated (rotated) into
the in (down) position the individual pods will power the image intensifier
tubes on respective to the side that is being articulated into the on (down)
position. The night vision binocular will feature a dovetail for mounting to
dovetail compatible helmet mounts. The night vision binocular will feature a
single purge port on each pod used for purging of each pod and will be
sealed with a purge screw and o-ring.
