AVIATOR’S NIGHT VISION GOGGLES
PNL-3X are the latest aviator’s night vision goggles produced by PCO S.A. They are a completely new design based on many years of experience in the design and operation of the PNL-3 and PNL-3M goggles.
They are intended for use in flight by helicopter pilots and other crew members under low light and night conditions, without the need for any artificial light sources. This makes them more effective for most demanding combat operations, border patrol, law enforcement support, search and rescue missions, HEMS, and aerial firefighting.
Key Functional Features of PNL-3X Goggles:
- Designed in accordance with civil and military aviation standard (incl. DO-275)
- New, reliable emergency release mechanism for goggles from the mount and helmet, ensuring full pilot safety.
- Equipped with an automatic on/off system when raised/lowered.
- Utilise the latest 18mm 4G image intensifiers.
- Thanks to the use of new generation gradient optics, provide excellent detection, recognition, and identification (DRI) parameters and an extended bandwidth (compared to Gen 3), ranging from 400 nm to over 1,100 nm.
- Visibility of the laser beam (including 1064 nm laser markers) for military and public safety purposes (e.g., police, border protection, fire service).
- Can be turned on/off and operated with one hand (right or left).
- Compatible with cockpit night lighting and displays thanks to the built-in internal Minus Blue filter (class A, B, or C).
- Thanks to the new four-battery power supply, they can operate for over 80 hours in continuous mode without the need to replace batteries.
- The goggle-power supply system is perfectly balanced, not causing strain and neck muscle fatigue.
- One of the lightest goggles on the market – their weight is 475g (total weight of the complete system is 871g).
