Ultralight Articulating Night Vision Binocular - Single Control "Raptor"
Description
The Nocturn Industries Raptor (U.A.N.V.B.-S.C.) is a professional-grade ultralight articulating night vision binocular engineered for operators who demand peak performance without compromising on weight or durability. Built from a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite via injection molding, the Raptor's housing surpasses traditional polymer solutions and rivals 6061-T6 aluminum in tensile strength - all while keeping the unit remarkably light.
Designed and assembled entirely in the United States, the Raptor incorporates direct user feedback from real-world operators to deliver a refined, intuitive night vision platform. From its single-control knob interface to its broad compatibility with industry-standard tubes and optics, every detail reflects Nocturn Industries' commitment to operational versatility and dependable field performance.
Key Features
- Carbon Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composite: Injection molded housing rivals 6061-T6 aluminum in tensile strength while remaining ultralight - outperforming traditional polymer designs.
- Single Control Knob: Ergonomic knob handles both power and gain adjustment in one streamlined interface, reducing clutter and simplifying operation under stress.
- Integrated IR Illuminator: Double-tap the control knob to activate the built-in IR illuminator; brightness is adjustable while active, with an integrated status indicator.
- Auto-Off Control: Users can enable or disable auto-off when stowed directly through the single control knob - no additional tools or menus required.
- Low Battery Indicator: On-board alert notifies users when battery replacement is needed, preventing unexpected power loss in the field.
- EGAC MX-11769 & PVS-14 Compatible: Accepts standard EGAC MX-11769 and 3-pad MX-11769 image intensifier tubes, as well as PVS-14 optics and accessories for maximum versatility.
- Interchangeable Image Tube Pod: The Raptor's image tube pod is fully interchangeable with the Nocturn Industries U.N.V.M. "Talon," expanding your system flexibility.
- On-Board Battery Compartment + LEMO 2-Pin Port: Dual power options with an integrated battery compartment and an external LEMO 2-pin power port for extended operation.
- Low-Profile IPD Knobs: Tool-free interpupillary distance adjustment knobs allow fast, comfortable setup for a wide range of users.
- Made in the USA: Fully designed and assembled in the United States for professional night vision applications.
Image Intensifier Options & Which to Choose
- Elbit (Commercial) White Phosphor: A high-quality commercial-grade white phosphor tube from Elbit Systems. Delivers crisp, high-contrast imagery with the natural white phosphor look that many operators prefer over green. Best for users seeking excellent performance at a more accessible price point.
- L3Harris Unfilmed White Phosphor - Ground Spot Spec: An unfilmed white phosphor tube from L3Harris meeting Ground Spot Specification standards. Delivers exceptional resolution and low-light sensitivity optimized for ground-based operations. Ideal for law enforcement, military, and serious tactical users who require top-tier ground performance.
- L3Harris Unfilmed White Phosphor - Aviation Spot Spec: An unfilmed white phosphor tube from L3Harris meeting Aviation Spot Specification standards. Built to tighter tolerances for aerial and elevated-platform use cases where image quality at distance is critical. The premier choice for aviation crews, pilots, and operators working in airborne environments.

FAQ
What image intensifier tubes are compatible with the Raptor?
The Raptor is compatible with standard EGAC MX-11769 and 3-pad MX-11769 image intensifier tubes, as well as PVS-14 optics and accessories. This broad compatibility makes it easy to integrate into existing night vision setups or upgrade tubes over time.
What does "White Phosphor" mean and why does it matter?
Traditional night vision uses green phosphor screens, while white phosphor tubes produce imagery in black and white. Many operators prefer white phosphor because it offers better contrast differentiation and a more natural-looking image, which can reduce eye fatigue and improve target identification during extended use.
What is the difference between Ground Spot Spec and Aviation Spot Spec tubes?
Both are high-tier L3Harris specifications for image intensifier performance, but Aviation Spot Spec tubes are held to even tighter tolerances for resolution and sensitivity - particularly optimized for airborne environments where image quality at distance is critical. Ground Spot Spec tubes are tuned for ground-based tactical and law enforcement operations and offer exceptional performance at a slightly lower price point.
Is the Raptor's image tube pod interchangeable with other Nocturn Industries devices?
Yes - the Raptor's image tube pod is fully interchangeable with the Nocturn Industries U.N.V.M. "Talon," giving you added flexibility across your Nocturn system.
How is power managed on the Raptor?
The Raptor features an on-board battery compartment for standard field use, plus an external LEMO 2-pin power port for extended operation via external power sources. A low battery indicator alerts you when it's time to replace the batteries, and the auto-off feature (when stowed) can be enabled or disabled through the single control knob.
Where is the Raptor made?
The Raptor is fully designed and assembled in the United States by Nocturn Industries, ensuring quality control and craftsmanship that meets the demands of professional operators.
