L3 Harris M914A AN/PVS-14
These L3 Harris AN/PVS-14 (M914A) are factory built at L3 Harris. These units are built with L3 Unfilmed 2376min FOM white phosphor image intensifier tubes.
The L3 PVS-14 is one of the most economical and versatile night vision devices available. A PVS-14 can be helmet mounted, rifle mounted, or used as a handheld device. When helmet mounted, the user has the option of choosing which eye they prefer to use with device. This leaves the user with one unaided eye. An unaided eye is beneficial in environments where the user must read ambient lighting conditions. As a result, the user has an increased ability to gauge true lighting conditions. Because of this the PVS-14 is an excellent choice for urban duty use and those seeking the versatility that a monocular brings.
We are frequently asked, “is a PVS-14 worth getting or should I wait to get Binos?” Binocular night vision is amazing and has many benefits. However, PVS-14s have many uses and are a great cost effective way to see at night. PVS-14s are a very capable device and we think that they are a great way to get into night vision.

- This option is for our customers that want a stricter spot spec offered from the factory. This option is hand selected strictly to meet the above aviation spot spec. Even though the M914A has an incredible tube, spots are still a reality in all night vision. If you are a customer that wants to insure a stricter spot spec this is a great option. Please understand that although an aviation spot spec is way stricter than the milspec spot spec, spots
- Please allow for additional lead time for aviation grade as this is a stricter spot spec than offered from L3Harris on these systems. Since we cannot order these to an aviation spot spec from L3Harris we cannot quote a definitive lead time.
