Ultralight Night Vision Monocular U.N.V.M. “Talon”
Compact. Rugged. PVS-14 compatible — at half the weight.
The U.N.V.M. “Talon” is an ultralight, injection-molded night vision monocular housing designed to reduce size and weight while improving durability compared to the traditional PVS-14. Weighing 50% less in a CR123A configuration (53 g housing weight), the Talon retains core features and broad optics/mount compatibility — making it a streamlined, professional-grade solution for serious night operations.
Built from a high strength hybrid fiber reinforced injection molded polymer, the Talon is engineered for hard use while staying exceptionally lightweight. It’s fully made in the USA and shares modular compatibility with the Raptor binocular line.
