PVS-30

The AN/PVS-30 is a high-performance, Gen 3 clip-on night vision weapon sight developed by Knight's Armament Company (KAC) for long-range sniper rifles, adding powerful night vision to existing day scopes without affecting zero or eye relief. Its history involves being designed for the US Army's SASS (Semi-Automatic Sniper System) and other sniper platforms, using advanced image intensification and patented bore sighting technology for accuracy up to .50 BMG rifles, providing excellent long-range target recognition in low light.

The PVS-30's success demonstrated the effectiveness of clip-on devices, influencing future night vision design for long-range engagements. It remains a robust, battle-proven system known for its reliability and performance in demanding conditions.
