L3's Binocular Night Vision Device (BNVD) AN/PVS-31A is a compact, lightweight, Gen III dual tube goggle.

It has an ergonomic low-profile design and offers superior situational awareness compared to a single tube goggle.

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.

The BNVD is a follow-on to the legacy, battle proven AN/PVS-15.
