U.A.N.V.B.-S.C. Raptor Night Vision Binocular | New Zealand Night Raider

Ultra-Light Articulating Night Vision Binocular – Single Control

The U.A.N.V.B.-S.C., known as the “Raptor”, is a full-feature professional night vision binocular engineered for maximum strength, minimal weight, and operational versatility. Designed with a cutting-edge carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite, this hybrid injection-molded material surpasses traditional polymers and rivals 6061-T6 aluminum in tensile strength — without the added weight.

Built from lessons learned across previous Nocturn Industries platforms and refined through direct user feedback, the Raptor delivers streamlined control, rugged durability, and mission-ready performance.
