Nocturn Industries U.A.N.V.B.-FC Manticore

The Ultralight Articulating Night Vision Binocular – Full Control (UANVB-FC), known as the Manticore, is an advanced articulating binocular housing engineered for users who require full digital control in a lightweight and durable platform. Constructed from a high-strength hybrid fiber-reinforced injection-molded polymer, the Manticore delivers exceptional rigidity and long-term structural integrity while maintaining minimal weight through optimized single-piece pod geometry. The low-profile design improves mobility when mounting or dismounting vehicles while the device is stowed, and the patented friction lock interpupillary adjustment allows users to set IPD once and retain it without tools.

The integrated digital control system includes digital manual gain adjustment, individual pod stow shutoff, user-adjustable pod tension, IPD stops, an IR illuminator with indicator, and a low-battery warning for operational awareness. Power is supplied by a single onboard CR123A battery, providing approximately 26 hours of continuous runtime, with an optional LEMO 2-pin external power port available for extended operation. Designed to meet and exceed IP68+ and MIL-STD-810H standards, the UANVB-FC Manticore combines advanced materials, digital functionality, and a minimalist articulating design into a purpose-built night vision housing for demanding environments.
