The Proton™ MNVG is a modular, lightweight and articulated binocular night vision housing.
Every mission calls for specific needs. The Proton™ MNVG was designed using the most advanced technologies and manufacturing techniques for unmatched modularity and uncompromising reliability.
The Proton™ MNVG is a fully fledged, future-proof and versatile platform. Meaning most of its components are easily field swappable, serviceable and adaptable to suit every need. Our patent pending module system allows for a cableless, solderless disassembly and interchangeability.

The MNVG is designed to last. Our 6-pin interface system, besides providing unrivaled modularity, allows us to design and bring new accessories to the whole Proton series of devices, preventing the user from having to replace a whole system to benefit from new features.
Power management is crucial and being able to choose which battery type to use depending on the mission makes a fundamental difference.
Our innovative Lower Module Interface allows the operator to quickly detach a battery module and replace it by the chosen format.
The quick detach ERGO-LOCK™ system dramatically reduces the downtime associated with swapping batteries.
When it comes to optics, the choice is yours. Proton™ pods are interchangeable and available in two formats, ANVIS or PVS-14 type optics.
Powered or unpowered, helmet mounted or handheld : the Proton™ Upper Module Interface enables many configurations.

High performance alloys such as Aluminium 7075-T6 and 316L Stainless steel are used to ensure maximal strength and environmental resistance.
No compromise has been made in the electronic designs of the MNVG and the PROTON series.Every component is selected after extensive testing and evaluation for reliability, resistance to Electromagnetic interference and performance.
Multi-level EMI Shielding / IPC-6013 Class 3 / IPC-A-610 Class 3 / AEC-Q200 Passive components / Conformal Coating
The MNVG is fully submersible. Our stringent design and material selection ensures reliability in both salt and chemically compromised waters. The MNVG is rated IP-68 and exceeds MIL-STD-810-H specifications, it is submersible at 66ft for 2 hours.
From the most extreme professional applications to the simplest outdoor activities, we consider that our customers' needs are paramount, no matter their nature. We designed the Proton platform for everyone in that regard, allowing unprecedented modularity to suit every requirement.
