Carson Industries Inc. is a manufacturer of optical equipment including night vision housings and lenses, founded in 2006.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
In April 2024, vendors selling products from Carson Industries have received a cease-and-desist letter from a company called Carson Optical who allegedly acquired all rights to the name "Carson". As such, some vendors have started to use the commercial brand name "Noctis Technologies" owned by Carson Industries instead.[2]
Products[edit | edit source]
AN/PVS-14[edit | edit source]
As a government contractor, Carson produces housings and lenses for the AN/PVS-14 for the US Armed Forces.[Note 1]
The lenses are considered to be some of the best available on the market, featuring minimal distortion and high clarity.
Other manufacturers producing AN/PVS-14 housings or devices (such as made Elbit Systems, L3Harris, ACTinBlack, and others) use lenses produced by Carson.
The front lenses have a multi-coat treatment which reflects light of distinct colors.
References[edit | edit source]
Notes[edit | edit source]
- ↑ As brand-new housings and lenses are being sold by commercial retailers, it is likely that this is not exclusive.
