The BNVD-SG is an advanced articulating goggle which is differentiated from the DTNVS by being made in America as a factory completed product, and having user controllable gain. Battery pack compatibility is also possible upon request. Like the DTNVS, the NVD-BNVD system features articulating optic pods which automatically shut off when rotated to the up position. BNVD-SG systems are available primarily with high performance milspec grade thin-film image intensifiers from Elbit Systems of America, but can also be special ordered with L3Harris unfilmed white phosphor image tubes and Photonis white phosphor as available from the manufacturer Night Vision Devices.

In addition to the standard SG variant which utilizes milspec PVS14 optics, the Ultra Light BNVD-SG, or BNVD-UL, variant utilizes light weight optics from Rochester Precision Optics to reduce the total system weight to 17oz, making it competitive directly with the PVS31A in features and weight.
