Kaelor KPNVG-18 Dovetail Quad-Tube Panoramic Night Vision
The Kaelor KPNVG-18 is a LAN18-platform quad-tube panoramic night vision goggle, also described as a panoramic NVG or pano NVG. Four 18 mm image intensifier tubes provide a central binocular view with extended peripheral coverage.
The four-tube panoramic layout provides an approximately 98 × 42-degree field of view at 1× magnification, with black or tan housing and the BNVIS dovetail mount interface.
Construction uses engineering polymer across the central bridge assembly, main body and optical pod housings.
Built to order - approximately 7 days before dispatch. This preparation period covers component sourcing, assembly, collimation, functional testing, nitrogen purging and order preparation. It is not a delivery estimate.
