Overview

Nowadays the MUM-14 is manufactured by Nivisys Industries LLV.

It is smaller and lighter (~280g including the CR123A battery) than the AN/PVS-14, yet features a comparable or even potentially better optical performance.

Two monocular devices can be combined into a binocular system using a mounting bridge, and while giving the ability to see stereoscopically, it is heavier than dedicated binocular systems, and cannot be collimated.

The MUM-14 can be hand-held, head-mounted, helmet-mounted, camera/camcorder adapted or weapons mounted as a night scope.

IEA Mil-Optics GmbH rebranded it as Night-Tronic NT940.
