Baird GP/NVG-1

The Baird GP/NVG-1 is a bi-ocular night vision housing produced by the company Baird in the early 1980's in the United states. The device is a predecessor to the PVS-7A and PVS-7. It uses an EEV M849 tube format, with a concave input. This makes the device incapable of accepting only that format, and will not fit PVS-7 tubes contrary to belief. The Baird was also produced with, and without a headmount adapter.

The device is powered by an E132 battery, which seems to be almost non existant to this day, and remains a battery of old time. However, it works with a few select batteries, including the Varta 6237 battery.

History

Baird was originally a company created around the late 70's, early 80's but is not certain, as there is very limited information on the company.

The GP/NVG-1 was developed as a candidate for the AN/PVS-7A, however later the M972/M973 developed by Litton was chosen instead.

Baird has however delivered the GP/NVG-1 device to several militaries around the world, including Spain and Denmark.

Baird as a company was later taken over by Litton, and it is unsure if they seized production of the GP/NVG-1.
