IPVS-1431 Night Vision Binocular

The IPVS-1431 is a military-grade binocular night vision goggle developed by INFREDAR, engineered around a unique dual-platform architecture: the proven structural framework of the AN/PVS-31A combined with the optical system of the AN/PVS-14. The result is a rugged, fully compatible dual-tube system that accepts the complete ecosystem of PVS-14 standard lenses and aftermarket components — giving procurement teams and OEM integrators a binocular platform with unmatched accessory flexibility, Gen 2+ or Gen 3 tube options, and significant cost advantage over U.S.-origin equivalents, with no ITAR restrictions.

IPVS-1431 Modular Dual-Tube Night Vision Goggle Housing System

Engineered for global B2B distributors, defense integrators, and tactical OEMs, the IPVS-1431 bridges the gap between high-mobility binocular functionality and worldwide procurement practicality. By adopting the ergonomic dual-pod architecture of the AN/PVS-31A while fully retaining the industry-standard optical threads of the AN/PVS-14, the IPVS-1431 stands as the ultimate scalable binocular platform for modern defense contracts and commercial inventory management.

Strategic B2B Advantages for Distributors & Integrators

1. Unmatched PVS-14 Ecosystem Integration & Inventory Optimization

Unlike proprietary binocular housings that force distributors to carry dedicated spare parts, the IPVS-1431 is fully cross-compatible with the global PVS-14 optical and accessory ecosystem. It accepts standard PVS-14 objective lenses, eyepieces, magnifiers, sacrificial windows, and optical filters. For regional distributors and assemblers, this shared ecosystem between monocular (IPVS-14) and binocular (IPVS-1431) product lines drastically reduces SKU complexity, lowers warehousing costs, and streamlines aftermarket support.

2. Standard IP40 FMC 40° FOV Optical Assembly

The IPVS-1431 comes standard with IP40 NORINCO PVS-14 sytle FMC lens assemblies, featuring a true 40° Field of View (FOV) and an extended 29mm exit pupil distance. Utilizing vacuum ion anti-reflective coatings, this optical set offers exceptional edge-to-edge resolution and high light transmission. Because this high-performance lens set is fully interchangeable with the IPVS-14 monocular, integrators can optimize bulk procurement across multiple product lines.

3. Reinforcing Precision: PEEK Central Housing Architecture

The IPVS-1431 utilizes high-performance PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone) engineering composite specifically for the critical central housing structure (with a standard total unit weight of 560g). This targeted material integration delivers maximum structural rigidity, superior thermal stability (-40°C to +60°C operating range), full corrosion resistance to solvents and salt spray, and total non-magnetic/non-conductive properties for EOD and signal-sensitive operational environments.

4. ITAR-Free Commercial Supply Chain

Manufactured entirely without U.S.-controlled components, the IPVS-1431 is free from ITAR restrictions and State Department export approval delays. B2B clients and defense contractors can execute procurement on predictable commercial timelines, opening seamless export pathways for international police, security, and defense tenders.

5. Flexible Image Intensifier Tube Integration (Gen 2+ / Gen 3)

Designed to accommodate standard 18mm MX-10160 format tubes (or MX-11769 with manual gain configurations), the IPVS-1431 allows assemblers to populate housings with Super Gen 2+ (SG2) or Gen 3 image intensifiers in both P43 Green and P45 White Phosphor (FOM 1400 up to 2400+). This versatility enables distributors to tier their product offerings from cost-effective law enforcement models to ultra-high-performance military configurations within a single hardware platform.

Key Technical & Hardware Features

Manual Gain Control as Standard

Unlike standard AN/PVS-31A units that lack manual gain adjustment or require custom factory options, the IPVS-1431 features manual gain control as a standard default, allowing operators to manually dial in system brightness against harsh ambient lighting.

Wider Diopter Adjustment Range (+2 to -6 D)

Featuring an expanded diopter adjustment range of +2 to -6 D, the IPVS-1431 accommodates a broader spectrum of operator vision profiles out-of-the-box compared to the restrictive factory settings of traditional military goggles, minimizing the need for custom prescription inserts during fleet deployment.

Dual-Fuel Battery System (AA & CR123 Compatibility)

The onboard battery compartment supports dual-fuel flexibility: it runs on universally accessible AA batteries (delivering 25 to 100 hours of runtime) and can be quickly converted to accept high-capacity CR123A batteries simply by swapping the battery cap. An integrated 4-pin Fischer port also supports external battery pack integration for extended multi-day missions.

Built-in IR Illuminator

Includes an integrated short-range IR illuminator for zero-light tactical operations, eliminating the immediate necessity for external helmet- or weapon-mounted illuminators.

Target B2B Partners & Procurement Scenarios

  • Defense & Law Enforcement Integrators: Fulfill government and municipal tenders requiring ITAR-free, high-durability dual-tube goggles with manual gain functionality.
  • Regional Distributors & Stockists: Protect inventory investment by stocking a binocular chassis that directly leverages existing PVS-14 lens and accessory stock.
  • OEM Night Vision Assemblers: Utilize a stable, modular housing platform that supports versatile Gen 2+ and Gen 3 tube configurations with flexible custom branding options.
