1.6 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The MNVD is a portable, battery operated night vision device
with an integrated IR light source. It can be used as a
handheld device or may be mounted to a weapon, helmet, or
headmount assembly.
When used in the normal operating mode (ON), the MNVD
amplifies available ambient light to allow for observation
under adverse conditions including light rain, smoke, light
snow, and low light conditions. When used in the IR mode,
the MNVD generates its own light with an integrated IR LED
Illuminator to allow for observation, map reading, etc. even in
complete darkness.
The MNVD is a ruggedized system designed for operation in
battlefield environments.
