Brief description of ANVIS
1. The ANVIS was designed specifically for rotary-wing aircraft, to overcome the
shortcomings with the AN/PVS-5 NVG.
2. The ANVIS is a lightweight, high-performance, image-intensification system for
optimizing helicopter night flying at terrain-masking altitudes.
3. The III-Gen light amplification tubes provide an operational capability during
periods of low ambient light down to overcast starlight conditions.
4. The ANVIS retains the 40-deg field of view.
5. The binocular assembly mounts directly on the flight helmet and allows peripheral
vision around and underneath for viewing the instrument panel and obtaining peripheral
cues.
6. The ANVIS can be worn with aircrew eyeglasses and is compatible with most oxygen
masks.
7. Power can be supplied by a standard AN/PVS-5 mercury battery, a lithium battery, two
double A batteries with an adapter, or converted from aircraft power.
8. The ANVIS weighs approximately 12 oz. A dual battery pack may be attached to the
rear of the helmet. A red indicator light glows when battery power is low. The ANVIS has a
flip-up design and can be worn continually in its hot-shoe mount. The NVG power supply
will automatically shut off when placed in the up position.
9. Operating Instructions
a. The ANVIS operates basically the same as the AN/PVS-5. Focus and interpupillary
distance adjustments are located similarly on the mount.
b. The ANVIS does not have an IR illuminator.
c. Because of the "look-around" capability, pilots do not normally need to
focus the ANVIS for inside-the-cockpit viewing. However, other aircrew members who work
inside the aircraft cabin may frequently need to focus for inside tasks.
10. Capabilities - Aircrew members are capable of performing tasks
normally performed during daylight (i.e., takeoff, navigation, low-level terrain flight,
and landing). However, resolution/visual acuity, depth perception, and field of view are
reduced from normal photopic levels.
