    The ANV-126A-001 is the test standard in the U.S. Armed Forces, Civil Aviation Operators and is in use in over 25 countries worldwide. Hoffman’s ANV-126A-001 offers a 40 Degree FOV with enhanced visual acuity resolution levels for White and Green Phosphor. The ANV-126A-001 is manufactured to meet and exceed the everchanging customer requirements. 

    The ANV-126A adds a microprocessor to the system electronics, replacing a variety of analog components in the ANV-126. Menus guide the user through test sequences and provide preset test levels in addition to allowing for manual settings. Input test levels for Gain are preset with values (though user adjustable) and ratios arrived at automatically.

    The ANV-126A-001 includes all the necessary electrical hardware and adapters to maintain your NVDs. 

    Additionally, the ANV-126A can be purchased as a module that retrofits into your existing ANV-126 case (ANV126A-UG)
