The Vyper monocular system is a heavily ruggedized system used by the soldier, law
enforcement officer, hunter or rancher when operating in harsh, heavy usage environments.
The Vyper monocular system, when paired with the Photonis Defense 4G image tube achieves
MILSPEC performance. When the Vyper is integrated with the Photonis Defense ECHO image
tube, the system provides near MILSPEC performance at a commercial price point.
*MILSPEC = An objective standard used by the US
military to measure system and tube performance.

Formed of high strength resin
Available in both a PVS-14 and PVS-14C variant
Superior impact resistance
Ideally suited for head-worn or binocular applications
Custom sleeve protects image intensifier tube
Description
Defend the homeland with the Vyper™ line of long-lasting night vision devices that are
ideally suited for head-worn or paired with another monocular for binocular applications.
The Vyper™ systems are engineered to stand-up to the physical stresses of the battlefield
and other dynamic use environments to ensure you will be able to see the details in
any low light environment.
The Vyper™ line of modular, ruggedized systems features both PVS-14 (Vyper 14™) and a
PVS-14C (Vyper 14C™) variants formed of high strength resin. Tested to comply with
MIL-PRF-48324(CR), MIL-PRF-49427(CR) and MIL-STD-810G for shock, drop, vibration,
and submersion the Vyper™ systems were designed to eliminate the most common
causes of field-related failures.
Compatible with many of Photonis’ state-of-the-art image intensifier tubes, including
our 4G and ECHO tubes, the Vyper™ systems are ready to address the stringent
requirements of the modern night vision users.

requirements. Contact our PD-PRO specialists for assistance with choosing the right options
for your specific application, or see an authorized distributor.
White Phosphor
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
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
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.
