Is that what's replacing the PVS line, Gene? I've read that the military is phasing out PVS 7 through PVS 15 equipment.
Before getting a thermal riflescope I used a PVS 7 headset mounted on a helmet for night hunting hogs. With good IR illumination it was amazing. I thought when I got the thermal I wouldn't need the NVG anymore, but have found that I would have been better off keeping it for scanning and spotting, then turn on the thermal just for shooting. Live and learn. Probably should get another set.
