MGA (Manual Gain Articulating)

The MGA (Manual Gain Articulating) night vision binocular is an extremely tough, full featured night vision goggle. The MGA incorporates the proven features of the AB Nightvision RNVG-A housing while adding manual gain control. The housing is billet machined from 7075 alloy aluminum and designed to handle challenging real-world environments. During drop testing, the housings far exceeded military requirements of MIL-STD-810H drop testing, surviving falls onto bare concrete from heights beyond what lenses and image intensifiers can handle.

The design features a rotary switch for power that also serves as manual gain adjustment giving the user full dynamic brightness control. The IR illuminator is activated by a pushbutton switch. Indicators in the viewing area alert the user if the IR illuminator is on, or if the unit senses a low battery condition. The unit is powered by either an onboard CR123 battery or auxiliary power from a battery pack using a 4-pin LEMO style connector.

The articulating design allows the user to quickly adjust for a proper Interpupillary Distance customized to the users eyes. Each optical pod can be rotated up out of the users view as desired, freeing one or both eyes for natural sight as conditions demand. When the goggle is helmet mounted and in the stowed position, the optical pods can be folded back flat against the helmet to minimize neck strain and the user from impacting overhead objects. The optical pods automatically turn off when articulated up. This feature prevents illumination on the helmet when stowed and ensures that the image intensifiers are ‘off’ in the articulated up stowed position. The tension required to articulate the optical pods is user adjustable.

The goggle is available in Flat Black and Flat Dark Earth. The components of the binocular are media blasted to give a non-reflective matte finish, then black anodized for durability. For the FDE option, Cerakote is applied over the anodizing.

The MGA uses PVS-14 ocular and objective lenses. This makes them familiar to many users and adjustable to each users eyesight.

Tube Specs

L3 Unfilmed White Phosphor – 24UA:

  • FOM: 2160 min.
  • Spot Spec: This option is manufactured with L3 24UA aviation grade tubes. This is the strictest spot spec available from L3Harris. These tubes do not have any spots >.003″ in zone 1 or zone 2. Spots </= .003″ are acceptable.

L3 Unfilmed White Phosphor – High FOM:

  • FOM: 2376 min FOM.
  • Spot Spec: This option is manufactured with L3 aviation grade tubes. This is the strictest spot spec available from L3Harris. These tubes do not have any spots >.003″ in zone 1 or zone 2. Spots </= .003″ are acceptable.
  • These units are hand selected for the absolute best image quality and spot spec.

Elbit Commercial Grade XLSH Thin Filmed White Phosphor:

  • FOM: 1,344  min.
  • Commercial Spot Spec: can have max 4 spots per tube larger larger than .003″. Out of the maximum of allowable 4 spots per tube, a single zone 1 spot .003″-.006″ is acceptable. Spots </= .003″ are acceptable per Elbit specification.
  • This option is a commercial grade tube that does not meet mil-spec acceptance testing. These tubes could fail for a variety of reasons which is why they have a wide range of acceptable performance standards set by Elbit. Examples of why these tubes fail mil-spec acceptance testing include, lower performance and/or spot spec. Although this option is built with a commercial grade tube we still use mil-spec optics and housing to provide the budget conscious consumer with a quality system that is built to the Licentia Arms standard. We recommend this option for the customer looking for a quality built system that does not need or want to invest in a mil-spec system.
