Second Generation Night Observation Device
Abstract
TRANSVARO Elektron Aletleri Sanayi Ve Ticaret A.S. of Istanbul, Turkey, is marketing the Model 9885A Second Generation Night Observation device (NOD). The NOD is a tripod mounted night vision sight typically used for long range surveillance when maximum performance and minimal operator fatigue are of primary importance. The exceptional performance of the NOD can be attributed to its high quality objective and the 25-mm microchannel plate image intensifier tube. Automatic Brightness Control (ABC) is a standard feature for the NOD. The ABC features permits viewing during the twilight hours of dusk and dawn and protects the tube against bright flashes of light. The tube features muzzle- flash protection which prevents the tube from being damaged by high intensity short duration flashes of light. The flash protection circuit is designed to recover in time for the observer to see the round hit the target. The NOD is furnished in a metal carrying case that includes two extra batteries, cleaning kit, and table top tripod. Optional features available include a binocular eyepiece for viewing with both eyes, a heavy duty tripod, 35-mm SLR relay and 16-mm video relay for night photography.
