Machined from high-strength aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminum using advanced multi-axis CNC techniques, the Katana achieves an exceptionally rigid single-piece pod geometry that keeps weight to a minimum while standing up to the most demanding field conditions. Available with a range of image intensifier tube options - from NNVT Commercial to L3Harris Aviation Spot Spec - the UANVB-R can be configured to match your exact mission requirements.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Thoughtful engineering details like individual pod stow shutoff, user-adjustable pod tension, IPD stops, and a low battery indicator make this binocular as practical as it is capable. With approximately 25 hours of continuous runtime on a single CR123A battery and a LEMO port for extended external power, the Katana Ruggedized is ready for all-night operations without compromise.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAerospace-Grade 7075-T6 Aluminum Housing:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-strength alloy construction delivers exceptional durability at ultralight weight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-Axis CNC Machining:\u003c\/strong\u003e Advanced machining produces a precise single-piece pod geometry for optimal rigidity and minimal mass.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArticulating Binocular Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full articulation allows independent pod positioning for a customized, comfortable field of view.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndividual Pod Stow Shutoff:\u003c\/strong\u003e Each pod can be shut off independently when stowed, preserving tube life and battery power.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUser-Adjustable Pod Tension:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dial in exactly the resistance you prefer for smooth, reliable pod movement under any conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIPD Stops:\u003c\/strong\u003e Interpupillary distance stops allow quick, repeatable adjustments for consistent eye alignment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCR123A Battery Power:\u003c\/strong\u003e Runs approximately 25 hours continuously on a single CR123A battery - a widely available, easy-to-source cell.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLEMO External Power Port:\u003c\/strong\u003e Connect an external power pack for extended runtime on long missions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow Battery Indicator:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alerts you before power runs out so you're never caught off guard in the field.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMultiple Image Intensifier Options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choose from NNVT Commercial, Elbit Commercial, L3Harris Ground Spot Spec, or L3Harris Aviation Spot Spec - all in White Phosphor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eImage Intensifier Options \u0026amp; Which to Choose\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNNVT (Commercial) White Phosphor:\u003c\/strong\u003e A capable and cost-effective entry point into the Katana Ruggedized platform.

Nocturn Industries engineered this platform from the ground up for real-world use, and every feature, from the adjustable pod tension to the LEMO external power port, reflects feedback from professionals who run gear hard. White Phosphor imaging across all tube options delivers the natural, high-contrast clarity that experienced night vision users prefer over traditional green phosphor. Whether you're a hunter pushing through a late-night stalk, a law enforcement professional on a deliberate operation, or a military aviator needing the very best optic available, the Katana Ruggedized scales to meet your needs. With tube options spanning commercial-grade to L3Harris Aviation Spec, you can invest at the level your mission demands and trust that the housing will outlast them all.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat is the difference between Ground Spot Spec and Aviation Spot Spec L3Harris tubes?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eBoth are premium military-grade L3Harris White Phosphor tubes, but Aviation Spot Spec tubes are selected to even tighter performance thresholds - particularly for sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio - to meet the demands of low-altitude aviation where image quality is mission-critical.
