U.N.V.M. "Talon"


Description

The Nocturn Industries U.N.V.M. "Talon" is an Ultralight Night Vision Monocular built for operators, professionals, and serious enthusiasts who demand maximum performance at minimum weight. Engineered from a cutting-edge carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite, the Talon delivers a housing that weighs only 53 grams in CR123A configuration - approximately 50% lighter than a standard AA PVS-14 housing - without sacrificing any features or optics compatibility.

Designed and assembled in the United States, the Talon is a purpose-built upgrade over the widely fielded PVS-14, offering improved durability, a streamlined single-knob control interface, and full compatibility with standard PVS-14 J-arms, accessories, and EGAC MX-11769 image intensifier tubes. With multiple image intensifier options available - from NNVT to L3 Unfilmed Aviation Spec - the Talon can be configured to meet a wide range of tactical and professional requirements.


Key Features

  • Carbon Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composite Housing: Ultralight construction at only 53 grams (CR123A config) - roughly 50% lighter than a standard AA PVS-14 housing (115g) - with significantly improved durability.
  • Single Tactile Control Knob: All device functions controlled through one knob - press-and-hold to power on/off, detented rotation for gain adjustment, and double-tap to activate the onboard IR illuminator.
  • Onboard IR Illuminator: Activated via double-tap of the control knob with an in-view indicator; brightness is adjustable by rotating the knob while active.
  • MX-11769 Tube Compatibility: Supports both standard EGAC MX-11769 and 3-pad MX-11769 European-style image intensifier tubes without modification.
  • PVS-14 Compatible Mounting: Accepts standard PVS-14 J-arms and accessories for seamless integration with existing kit.
  • Multiple Battery Options: Ships with a CR123A battery cap standard; AA and CR2 caps available for easy swapping via the existing battery cap lanyard.
  • Interchangeable Image Tube Pod: Fully compatible with both the Talon and Nocturn Industries Raptor binocular product lines.
  • Auto-Off & Low Battery Indicators: Auto-off when stowed can be enabled or disabled through the control knob; a low battery indicator alerts the user when replacement is needed.
  • Made in the USA: Designed, machined, molded, and assembled in the United States.
  • MIL/LE Highlight Cutoff Sensor: Available by special order for military and law enforcement applications.

Image Intensifier Options & Which to Choose

FAQ

How does the Talon compare to a standard PVS-14?

The Talon is designed as a direct upgrade to the PVS-14. It uses the same EGAC MX-11769 image intensifier tubes and is compatible with standard PVS-14 J-arms and accessories, so it integrates into your existing setup. The key differences are weight - the Talon housing is approximately 50% lighter than a standard AA PVS-14 housing - and its improved carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite construction, which offers significantly greater durability. The single-knob control interface also simplifies operation compared to traditional designs.

Which image intensifier tube should I choose?

It depends on your intended use. The NNVT White Phosphor is a solid entry point for recreational and general use. Elbit Commercial White Phosphor offers trusted quality for serious users. The L3 Unfilmed Ground Spot Spec is optimized for ground-based tactical and law enforcement applications. The L3 Unfilmed Aviation Spot Spec is the premium choice for aircrew or operators requiring the highest-performing tube with uniform image quality across the full field of view. If you need help choosing, feel free to reach out to us at service@omahasportsandgames.com.

Can I swap battery types in the field?

Yes. The Talon ships with a CR123A battery cap as standard, and AA and CR2 battery caps are available separately. Swapping is designed to be seamless using the existing battery cap lanyard, making it easy to adapt to whatever batteries are available in the field.

Is the image tube pod transferable to other devices?

Yes - the Talon's image tube pod is fully interchangeable with the Nocturn Industries Raptor binocular product line. This gives you flexibility to use a single tube across multiple housings depending on your mission requirements.

Is the Talon available with a highlight cutoff sensor?

Yes, for military and law enforcement applications, the Talon can be configured with an onboard highlight cutoff sensor by special order. Please contact us at service@omahasportsandgames.com for details on MIL/LE ordering.
