Tactical Night Vision Company

What Tactical Night Vision Company does

Tactical Night Vision Company, Inc. (TNVC) is a privately held, California-incorporated specialty retailer and integrator of night vision, thermal imaging, and tactical optical equipment, founded in 2005 and headquartered in Loma Linda, CA. The company distributes MIL-SPEC and commercial-grade Gen 3 night vision systems (including white phosphor and green phosphor variants), thermal imaging devices, Class 1+ eye-safe laser systems (notably the B.E. Meyers MAWL line), tactical helmets, mounts, communications gear, and weapon accessories. Core technology is centered on U.S. Gen 3 image intensification tubes from L3Harris and Photonis, including proprietary TNVC Filmed SuperGain builds that combine Gen 3 tubes with SuperGain specifications exclusively through TNVC's commercial channel; TNVC-built systems carry a lifetime guarantee. The company also operates as an L3Harris Factory Authorized Spare/Repair Parts Depot, providing recurring service revenue tied to MIL-SPEC platform sustainment.

TNVC operates a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront at tnvc.com supplemented by phone sales (909-796-7000) and a dedicated government/law enforcement sales channel ([email protected]) for restricted products such as the MAWL-DA. Pricing is unit-based across entry-level ($2,799-$3,999 monoculars), mid-range ($5,299-$14,978 clip-on systems), and high-end ($13,999-$49,999 GPNVG/BNVD systems) tiers, with free shipping over $500 and financing available. Customer segments bifurcate between professional buyers (U.S. military, federal/state/local law enforcement) purchasing MIL-SPEC and restricted equipment, and civilian consumers (hunters, astronomy enthusiasts, tactical hobbyists) purchasing commercial-grade systems. The company complements hardware sales with a Night Fighter training program (101/201 levels plus law enforcement courses) across six U.S. locations, and structured tactical programs covering pistol, comms, tactical vehicle, and precision rifle integration. Geographic scope is strictly domestic: export is prohibited under ITAR, and certain products are restricted to U.S. Government and law enforcement only.
