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.

It uses an EEV M849 tube format, with a concave input. Contrary to belief, this means that the device does not accept standard MX-10130 format image intensifiers used by the AN/PVS-7.

The Baird was also produced both with and without a head-mount adapter.

The device is powered by an E132 battery, which seems to be almost nonexistent today. However, it works with a few select alternative batteries still in production, including the Varta 6237.

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.

The company Baird was later acquired by Litton, and it is uncertain if they continued production of the GP/NVG-1.
