Vyper Pro™ Binocular

Vyper™ Binocular

Features

The Vyper Pro Binocular combines lightweight construction with rugged capability. Its articulating design allows individual pod shut-off and seamless integration with weapon-mounted, non-passive aiming systems.

  • High-strength hybrid fiber-reinforced polymer housing
  • Simple push-button on/off design
  • Manual Gain Control for brightness adjustment
  • New self-adjustable IPD stops
  • Adjustable IR illuminator
  • External battery pack connector for extended runtime
  • User-adjustable pod tension
  • Individual pod on/off when articulated
  • 26+ hours onboard battery life (CR123A)
  • Low-battery indicator
  • Extremely lightweight ergonomic design
  • IP68+ and MIL-STD-810H rated
  • 5-year repair or replacement warranty

Description

The Vyper Pro introduces significant advancements over the baseline Vyper, including:

  • Manual Gain Control for precise brightness adjustment in varying light conditions.
  • Newly designed self-adjustable IPD stops for fast, secure customization without tools.
  • Adjustable IR illuminator for effective performance in low-light or no-light environments.
  • External battery pack connector, enabling extended runtime for long-duration missions.

Built with Photonis image intensifier tubes and mil-spec optics, the Vyper Pro delivers unmatched clarity and ruggedness in a lightweight frame. Its slim, low-profile housing makes vehicle mounting and dismounting significantly easier when the system is stowed. Despite its ultralight weight, the Vyper Pro exceeds MIL-STD-810H and has been tested beyond NATO/TOP standards, including repeated six-foot drop tests onto concrete.

White Phosphor

White Phosphore Example

The latest technological achievement providing the greatest clarity of image when operating in urban, desert or forested environments. For these applications, the night vision user should turn to a white phosphor tube. Studies have shown that night-time scenes appear remarkably more natural in black and white versus the usual green. White phosphor also provides much clearer information about the contrast, shapes and shadows within an environment.


Main Benefits
  • Greater image clarity
  • Scenes appear more natural
  • Clearer information regarding contrast, shapes, shadows
  • Perfect for urban, desert or forested environments

Green

Green Phosphore Example

The industry standard for more than 40 years, green phosphor is the perfect choice for operators that complete missions in the jungle or deep dark areas of the world. The enhanced contrast and depth required for operating in these densely packed environments are ideally suited to the green phosphor coating. The higher gains and stronger contrasts of the green phosphor enable the clarity of image required for those operating without the advantage of ambient light sources to enhance the image.


Main Benefits
  • Enhanced contrast and depth
  • Higher gain and contrast provide better clarity
  • Perfect for jungle or deep dark environments

Ether™ Eyepiece

Ether™ Eyepiece Photo

The Ether™ eyepiece is available as a rugged upgrade component for the Vyper 14™ and Vyper 14C™. The Ether™ eyepiece offers a larger eyebox and reduced overall weight when compared to the eyepiece provided with a standard-issue night vision device. It also includes a diopter adjustment to reduce the need to carry a separate vision correction component. Ether™ eyepieces provide significant weight reduction – as much as 30% – when compared to the eyepiece provided with most conventional night vision devices. NVD users who frequently experience head and neck fatigue from heavy legacy devices will enjoy the reduced weight of any NVD equipped with the Ether™ eyepiece.
