The M914 night vision monocular is one of the most versatile night vision systems available today. It can be used as a handheld pocket scope, a helmet-mounted monocular, or a weapon sight when mounted in tandem with an infrared laser aimer or other night vision-compatible primary optic.A low-battery indicator is located in the eyepiece. An active projected infrared LED provides short-range illumination for activities such as map reading.
