Abstract: A modular binocular night vision device permits vision during low-light conditions by converting incoming near-infrared and visible light from a viewed scene to an intensified visible light image. The modular binocular night vision device comprises a pair of monocular housings, connected to one another by way of a bridge, that are arranged for respectively covering the right and left eye of an observer. An example modular binocular night vision device comprises a bridge and a mount module. The bridge includes a mechanical connection port on a top side thereof; the mount module includes a top side, a base positioned opposite the top side, and an onboard power source. The base of the mount module is removably attachable to the mechanical connection port on the bridge and the onboard power source is adapted to provide power to the binocular night vision device.
