ARGUS
ARGUS APNVG / PNVG-18 Quad-Tube Panoramic Night Vision
The ARGUS APNVG / PNVG-18 is built using a genuine ARGUS panoramic housing and optical package. It is separate from the independent Kaelor commercial panoramic platform.
Four 18 mm image intensifier tubes form the panoramic image. The two central, forward-facing channels provide the overlapping binocular view used for depth perception, while the outward-facing side channels extend peripheral coverage. ARGUS specifies an approximately 100-degree total field of view.
Built to order — approximately 7 days before dispatch. This build period covers component sourcing, assembly, collimation, functional testing, vacuum testing, nitrogen purging and order preparation. It is not a delivery estimate.
Tube configurations
- NNVT4 Gen 2+ green phosphor, FOM 1400
- NNVT5 Gen 2+ white phosphor, FOM 1600
- NNVT Gen 3 green phosphor, FOM 1800+
- NNVT Gen 3 white phosphor, FOM 1800+
FOM is calculated from tube resolution and signal-to-noise ratio; it is useful for comparing tube classes but does not describe every aspect of the viewed image. Individual tube data sheets are supplied with the completed device.
Higher-spec tube requests: FOM 2000+ tubes and other specific tube requirements may be available by request. Contact us before ordering to discuss sourcing, tube matching and current availability.
