The AGM PVS-7 3AW1 is a single-tube night vision goggle built on the AN/PVS-7 B/D layout, fitted with a Gen 3 auto-gated white phosphor tube. One image intensifier feeds both eyepieces, so you see with both eyes open while the goggle rides on the included head mount or an optional helmet mount. At 1x with a 40° field of view it is made for moving and working in the dark: walking a property line, driving a ranch road, checking stock or setting up a blind before shooting light. It runs on two AA batteries or one BA-5567/U lithium cell, with up to 60 hours on alkalines.
This is the 3AW1 build. AGM's Gen 3 "Level 1" auto-gated tube sits behind a P45 white phosphor screen, so the scene shows in shades of black, white and gray instead of green. Many users find that easier to read over a long night. Level 1 is AGM's cleanest Gen 3 grade, with practically no visible spots in the center zone, and AGM lists a figure of merit of 1400-1800 for it. The green phosphor version of the same goggle is the 3AL1.
Key features
- Gen 3 white phosphor, Level 1 - auto-gated tube with a P45 white screen; AGM states all of its Gen 3 tubes are made in the USA.
- Head, helmet or hand - head mount assembly included; MICH and PASGT helmet mounts are optional, and the goggle shuts off when flipped up or removed from the mount.
- Built-in IR illuminator - adds light for close work in total darkness, with an in-view indicator when IR is on and a separate low-battery indicator.
- Tube protection - automatic brightness control evens out changing light, and bright-light cut-off powers down the goggle in daylight or room light.
- Fits different faces - independent eyepieces slide from 55 to 71 mm, each with -6 to +2 diopter, and the mount socket adjusts eye relief.
- Sealed for bad weather - AGM calls it waterproof and dustproof, and the manual rates it to 1 m for 30 minutes.
- Room to grow - optional AGM 3x and 5x afocal magnifiers thread onto the objective for longer-range viewing.
