The BNVD's twin-tube design provides protection in the field against failure or damage versus a single-tube NVG. It can be used as a monocular when necessary to allow for the dominant and non-dominant eye by rotating either the left or right optic into the stowed position.
FOM: 2376 MIN
Working directly with input from SOF operators, the BNVD was designed to increase system resolution, significantly reduce head-borne weight, improve system center of gravity, provide additional operational utility and improve overall situational awareness as compared to currently fielded dual-tube goggles.

- Manual system gain and focus adjustments for custom image quality optimization
- Rotating binocular design allows low profile against helmet when in stowed position and ability to use as a single monocular
- Auto OFF when stowed; resumes power when deployed
- LED indicator in left and right monocular indicates when 10 minutes or more of battery life remains
