*** IN STOCK AND READY TO SHIP!! $6,999***** LIMITED QUANTITIES! ***

*** 2376 MIN. FOM L3HARRIS UNFILMED WHITE PHOSPHOR (10160UW-SA-C00-1621 / -1595) DOES NOT INCLUDE TUBE DATA SHEETS ***


*** USED REFURBISH TRADE-INS ***

***5 YEAR TNVC WARRANTY***

***REQUIRES ANVIS-STYLE AVIATION BALL-DETENT MOUNT AND BATTERY PACK / POWER SUPPLY   WILL NOT MOUNT TO DOVETAIL-STYLE MOUNTS LIKE THE G24***


Known commercially as the M949, the AN/AVS-6 / AN/AVS-9 Aviator's Night Vision Imaging System (ANVIS) is the original Gen. 3 binocular night vision device, originally designed, as the name might suggest, for aviation use (the "AVS" in "AN/AVS-6/9" actually stands for "Aircraft-Mounted Visual Search" according to the Joint Electronic Type Designation System   JETDS). However, almost immediately, ground users began using and adopting the ANVIS for ground use, from Iraq to  Iraq (the second time), not being fully replaced in many units by more ruggedized, dedicated ground systems until well after the introduction of the AN/PVS-31A Binocular Night Vision Device. Even today, the ANVIS still remains an extremely lightweight and versatile ground system.



TNVC is extremely pleased to be able to introduce a brand new product to our line-up, the ANVIS "Sportsman" Goggle, available EXCLUSIVELY at TNVC. In this case, "ANVIS" stands not for Aviator's Night Vision Imaging System, but Auto-Power Night Vision Imaging System.

One of the most popular features of the ANVIS, especially amongst ground users is the automatic on/off capability offered by the aviation-style ANVIS mount (often referred to as a "ball-detent" mount), which unlike most common night vision binocular systems which use a solid dovetail mounting configuration, the ANVIS utilizes a "hot" mounting interface, delivering power from an external battery pack to the goggle that is only engaged when the goggle is in the deployed position, automatically and mechanically shutting off the goggle without the need to toggle switches, knobs, or buttons.



These new TNVC ANVIS "Sportsman" Goggles are USED Refurbished Trade-Ins, refurbished by Aviation Specialties Unlimited (ASU-NVG), THE leading provider of aviation night vision solutions.

These systems are low-hour, top of the line pre-owned aviation systems that have been inspected, refurbished, and repaired by Aviation Specialties Unlimited and restored to almost new condition and removed from FAA Flight Certification and offered through TNVC as a "Sportsman" Ground System.

***NON-AVIATION CERTIFIED   NOT FOR AVIATION USE***


These systems utilize low-hour L3Harris Unfilmed White Phosphor High FOM (2376 Minimum) Aviation Grade / Spot Spec image intensifier tubes. These tubes are some of the CLEANEST and highest performing image intensifiers available offered at an unbelievable price in these "Sportsman," making them on of the best values in the night vision industry.

Unfortunately supplies of these TNVC ANVIS "Sportsman" systems are extremely limited because they are "certified pre-owned" refurbished units, supply depends on the the availability of used systems meeting both TNVC and ASU-NVG's exacting standards of quality to be able to be offered as TNVC ANVIS "Sportsman" units, once in-stock units are sold out, it may be some time before more are available, so don't delay, get yours today!

I want to point out that these are a GREAT VALUE! You literally cannot buy tubes these nice (L3Harris Unfilmed WP 2376+ aviation grade aka UA) for this price of a complete system!

Will - I’ve been researching NVDs for the past 5 or so years trying to justify the perfect time to drop the money and start building a night fighting setup.  This seems like a pretty great way to get into a set of high spec goggles without investing over 10k into the latest/greatest housing.  Do you think that the price point of these kind of offsets the negatives of having to set everything up for aviator ball detent mounted goggles? I’m aware of the drawbacks of anvis bridges and fragility but also think I could work around them with up armor

I personally think this is an amazing deal due to the tubes that are installed in these whereas the typical refurb will have lower spec green tubes.

I’m a big Anvis/ball-detent guy so I honestly don’t see the interface as a negative, however, it’s not for everyone. What I love about it is its stupid simple which I like with the only auto on/off function that I trust.

I personally love Anvis-9s. They’re lightweight and the objective lenses due to the filters and finer focus gives a great image.

The housing is tougher than most give it credit for but it certainly is not going to be as tough as something like an RNVG-A or DTNVS. For the average user damage almost always occurs from drops so keep it lanyarded and you’ll be fine.

Is there an interface for the old COTI for these?

There isn't a specific bracket for the goggle but the PVS-14 bracket can mount to the lens.

There is a larger incompatibility issue in that the NVIS filters in the objective lenses will interfere with the COTI/PAS-29A's display from the projector.

I have tried my personal 29A with a couple of different ASU Anvis-9s with class B lenses and the 29A was unusable. You could barely see the thermal image.

Are you expecting any more stock to come in on these? It seems I missed the boat.

That's your best bet and yessir I'll update this thread or create a new one.

Hopefully we'll have more sooner than later, however, these aren't a regular item. Rather, we snatch them whenever they pop up on our radar.
