The PS-31 Binocular Night Vision (EASON) is a compact, lightweight
dual-tube goggle that replaces the traditional PS-15. Among the
many dual-tube night vision goggles, the PS-31 is by far one of the
smallest and lightest units. The PS31s can be equipped with various
grades of high performance Gen 3+ image intensifier tubes made in
the USA. Working directly with US operator input, the PS-31 is
designed to increase system resolution, significantly reduce head
weight, improve the center of gravity system, provide additional
operational utility, and increase the operator's overall
situational awareness with a 50-degree increase in FOV for maximum
field visibility. These tubes have an automatic gain function that
allows the system to adjust the brightness of the image according
to ground conditions. The ET-PS31 has independently rotating tube
housings that allow the operator to run the goggles in binocular or
monocular configurations. Using both tubes at the same time allows
the eyes to develop depth perception and increases the ease of
maneuvering terrain and obstacles and operating equipment such as
control panels and door handles. However, the monocular
configuration allows for easy transition between the various
lighting conditions often found on the battlefield and causes the
operator to switch between night vision and weapon mounted optics.
Another benefit of the swivel tube shell is the ability to mount a
"flat" visor on the front helmet surface when stowed. The ability
to rotate the tube shell onto the helmet face creates an overall
lower profile, improving operator safety and equipment longevity.
