Sources sought to provide the government with the MX-11617 Light Interference Filter (NSN: 5855-01-379-1410). This Light Interference Filter is a component of the AN/PVS-7B/D Night Vision Goggle (NVG), AN/PVS-14 Monocular Night Vision Device (MNVD), and AN/AVS-6 Aviator’s Night Vision Imaging System (ANVIS) Night Vision Device. The AN/PVS-7B/D and AN/PVS-14 is a helmet mounted or hand-held device that enables walking, weapon-firing, short range surveillance, map reading, vehicle maintenance, and administering first aid in both moonlight and starlight. The AN/AVS-6 is a helmet-mounted or hand-held passive binocular that provides the capability for pilots to fly in terrain flight modes at night. Each of these systems contain an Image Intensifier which amplifies ambient light (moon, stars, skyglow, etc.) so the viewed scene becomes clearly visible, enabling improved night vision. The Light Interference Filter is a coated optic that attaches to the Night Vision Devices objective lens. It acts as an infrared light protection filter which protects the image intensifier from extreme bright light and laser damage. The Government requires an estimated quantity of approximately 115,000 MX—11617 Light Interference Filters over a 5 year period. The Government possesses drawings and a performance specification for this item. Pending an appropriate security clearance the technical data package can be made available upon request.
