The PD-PRO-Q Panoramic night vision system was designed for Special Forces personnel requiring the ultimate in situational awareness (SA) at the lightest weight. The PD-PRO-Q offers the widest panoramic field of view (FOV) of any 4-tube night vision goggle. Weighing only 800 grams the system was specifically designed for increased SA when operating moving platforms (aircraft, boats, motorized vehicles) and conducting close quarter battle/operations. Using four 18mm, 4G hybrid, White Phosphor, 2400+ FOM image intensifier tubes, the PD-PRO-Q allows the professional user to identify threats sooner and increase mobility, amongst other benefits. A ruggedized aerospace, lightweight magnesium aluminum alloy housing and German precision optics sets this pano apart from the competition. The goggle operates from an included battery pack, which also doubles as the counter-weight, which provides a 24 hour run time and controls the on-board IR illuminator. The automatic "cut-off when stowed" feature is magnetically controlled to prevent body position and recoil induced accidental shut-off of the system. When looking through the PD-PRO-Q google, the user is presented with 104 degrees FOV, seen as 3 viewing areas (not 4 as many believe). The adjustable interpupillary stops allow the user to fuse the three images into a single, wide viewing area, thus enhancing situational awareness. The PD-PRO-Q is also designed for underwater operations up to 5 meters (16 feet) deep. The PD-PRO-Q is the ultimate situational awareness night vision goggle system chosen by Tier-1 personnel the world over.
