Night
Vision Goggles
ANVIS
6 and 9 goggles are
approved for use with
the ALPHA helmet.
They are mounted on the rigid visor cover so the visors can still be
used. There is also a dedicated version of the Alpha Eagle helmet
for the FENNS goggles - this is a shell mounted NVG system - not
interchanging with the ANVIS STANDARD.
Night
Vision Goggles (NVGs)
are binocular devices
that enhance
unaided night vision
for pilots.
Typically, NVGs are
mounted on a pilot’s
helmet.This
position enables pilots
to look
through
the goggles outside
the cockpit or under
the
goggles at flight
instruments. By enabling
the pilot
to see in the dark,
NVGs have the potential
to improve the safety
of visual flight
at night. In
most conditions, night
vision goggles
provide pilots
with a significant
increase in the
quality of visual
information
compared with unaided
night vision. They
allow the pilot
to see the horizon,
objects, terrain
and
weather more easily.

kits for ALPHA helmets. The
ANR offers approximately 12dB

powered or battery power
(simply ‘’plug
and play’’ between
the two) and even with BOSE
aircraft power compatible
plugs.
The
battery interface
box can be fitted with
any of the common
aircraft plugs
on coiled or straight cables.
In the event of ANR power
