Nocturn Industries Manticore-R Rugged Aluminum Night Vision Goggle

The Manticore-R from Nocturn Industries is a rugged, articulating binocular housing made of high-strength 7075-T6 aluminum with a on-board digital controls that control power, gain, and an on-board IR illuminator. This binocular device features individual pod shutoff when each pod is rolled up, IPD stops, user-adjustable pod tension, IR-illuminator & indicator, and low battery indicator.

The device is powered on-board by a single CR123A for a continuous runtime of ~25 hours and does not require offboard battery packs. State-of-the-art modelling allows an extremely strong housing with a low weight – only 561g fully-loaded with Milspec PVS-14 optics. This device is one of the strongest, most full-featured, and lightest in its class.

We offer the Manticore-R in three colors (Black, FDE and OD Green) with the following tube options:

L3Harris 20UA Filmless White Phosphor – Aviation Spec

L3Harris 20UA Supergain Filmless White Phosphor – Aviation Spec

Elbit White Phosphor

Photonis White Phosphor (no manual gain functionality for photonis tubes at this time)

SuperGain Filmless White Phosphor image intensifier tubes increase the Luminance Gain (Gain) specification for image intensifier tubes from the standard 40,000-80,000 fL/fc to between 100,000-120,000 fL/fc. This greatly increases the image intensifier’s ability to amplify and collect light, resulting in a noticeably brighter image with increased low light performance and extending operational envelope and ability to see into dark areas.

Handpicked Option – Select this if you want US to select intensifier tubes for you instead of selecting a set from our inventory. We will contact you (typically within 24-48 hours of placing your order) with pictures and specs of tubes we select to ask for your approval. If you have preferences on certain specs (ie: SNR, EBI etc…) please include those in your order notes and we will do our best to meet your goal. After customer tube approval the night vision unit will be ready to ship within 1 to 3 business days.

Housing Swap Only Option – Includes prepaid label to send your existing night vision goggle or two monoculars to us. We will swap your tubes and optics to a new Manticore-R housing including collimating and purge. All remaining parts will be sent back to the customer with the complete Manticore-R

The articulating design allows users to use one eye or both eyes enabling the simultaneous use of a thermal optic or other non-passive aiming systems. This also enables users to operate vehicles without limiting head space by eliminating the need to stow the unit upright or to tuck the pods against the helmet when stowed.
