1.2 INTRODUCTION
The MNVD is a handheld, head-mounted, helmet-mounted, or weapon-mounted night vision system that 
enables mobility, driving, weapon firing, short-range surveillance, map reading, vehicle maintenance, and 
administering first aid during operation in both moonlight and starlight. 
The MNVD uses advanced, multi-coated optics and a tough, compact, and ergonomic composite housing. 
The MNVD can be used as a goggle system, or stowed out of the way without removing. This device 
operates with a single On/Off/Gain Control knob and utilizes features like a flip-up turn off function, 
when used in conjunction with a head or helmet mount. There is also an integral infrared illuminator for 
reading a map and short distance observation.
