The RNVG-A, also known as ARNVG, (Articulating Ruggedized Night Vision Goggle) is an extremely tough, full featured night vision binocular. The housing is billet machined from aircraft grade aluminum and designed to handle challenging real-world environments. During drop testing the housings far exceeded military requirements of MIL-STD-810H drop testing, surviving falls onto bare concrete from heights beyond what lenses and image intensifiers can handle. The RNVG utilizes a single CR123A battery, but also comes with an on board auxiliary LEMO port for use with battery packs, such as the AB Night Vision Inc Ground Optimized Battery Pack.
Custom Night Vision offers the ARNVG with the following tube options:
- L3 Harris Filmless White Supergain
- L3Harris Filmless White
- Elbit Thin Film White
- Photonis Green and White
- NNVT White
From the dropdown menu you can sell which tube manufacture and which actual set of tubes you would like to order. Actual specs and photos of each in stock unit are in the drop down menus (please note: color shade of blue/green is due to photo lighting, all tubes will actually be the same light blue in color).
Don’t want to pick your own tube? No worries, just select the Handpicked Option.
Handpicked Option – Select this if you want Custom Night Vision to select intensifier tubes for you instead of selecting a set from our inventory. We will contact you (typically within 24-48 hours of placing your order) with pictures and specs of tubes we select to ask for your approval. If you have preferences on certain specs (ie: SNR, EBI etc…) please include those in your order notes and we will do our best to meet your goal. After customer tube approval the night vision unit will be ready to ship within 1 to 3 business days.
We offer five choices of Optics:
-
Standard Mil-Spec Optics – NVD Cage Code – These are the most popular and cost effective option. We have evaluated multiple optics and found these to be the best option for most of our customers. Weight: 4.5 ounces per set.

The RNVG-A design includes push button switches for power and an Infrared Illuminator. The IR illuminator button is guarded by a fence with distinctive contours to prevent inadvertently activating the IR illuminator. Indicators in the viewing area alert the user if the IR illuminator is on, or if the unit senses a low battery condition. AB Night Vision RNVG-A optics feature a full range of adjustments. The mil-spec objectives allow the user to focus between 9.8 inches and infinity, while the mil-spec eyepieces offer a diopter adjustment range of -6 to +2. The articulating design allows the user to quickly adjust for an Interpupillary Distance from 47mm to over 80mm.
Each optical pod can be rotated up out of the users view as desired, freeing one or both eyes for natural sight as conditions demand. When the goggle is helmet mounted and in the stowed position, the optical pods can be folded back flat against the helmet to minimize neck strain and better protect the goggle, and the user, from impacting overhead objects. The optical pods automatically turn off when articulated up. This feature prevents illumination on your helmet when one side is articulated up and ensures that the image intensifiers are ‘off’ in the stowed position with the optical pods folded back against the helmet. The force required to swing the optical pods is user adjustable using a coin.
The goggle is available in Flat Black and Flat Dark Earth. The components of the binocular are media blasted to give a non-reflective matte finish, then black anodized for durability. For the FDE option, Cerakote, a proven firearms finish, is applied over the anodizing to give a tough, attractive finish.
