Nocturn Industries UANVB Katana
Choose options
The UANVB Katana produced by Nocturn Industries in New Hampshire is minimalist, and in order to save weight the design eliminates features that many consider unnecessary such as on board IR illumination, variable gain control, and electronic indicators.
Our Katanas make use of your choice of 1600+ FoM Photonis Echo Autogated image intensifiers or NNVT image intensifiers. We offer premium quality lenses with our systems from US Milspec vendors. Lenses are very important when it comes to image quality, and while lower quality lenses are still useable, lower quality lenses will result in lower perceived resolution, and higher perceived image distortion.

Fulfillment is estimated for January 2023. 4G+ is the highest grade of tube offered by Photonis and is the choice for many European special military and police units. They have improved autogating, improved flare coatings, and significantly higher tube specs and quality of assembly over ECHO tubes.
