The Ultralight Articulating Panoramic Night Vision Goggle UAPNVG "Chimera" is the next evolution in panoramic nvg systems being the first articulating quad tube device. This patent pending system enables the lowest possible profile by stowing the pods back to the helmet to a profile typical of articulating binos reducing neck fatigue by pulling the center of gravity significantly closer to the natural pivot point of the neck. UAPNVG pods can be stowed individually without fully stowing the device which allows the user to clear door thresholds, increase head clearance in a vehicle, have rapid access to the night vision function, enter and exit vehicles much faster, reduced brush snag hazard, and use weapon mounted optics/thermal devices simultaneously with the goggle. In addition to the stand alone device is a bridge system that is plug and play at a user level with existing panoramic nvg pods offering compatibility with L3 GPNVG18, Lindu QTNVG, ANVIS10, Photonis PD Pro-Q, and more.
