The UNS-A3 patented technology assures the accuracy of your range-tested day scope will note be degraded. The UNS-A3 also features a patented Single Interchangeable Battery (SIB)^® which allows the use of either a CR-123 or a single AA battery. The UNS A3 is designed for weapons such as the M4, M16, SR25 and similarly configured rifles.

The UNS-A3 (Universal Night Sight) is small, handy CNVD designed to attach to a weapon system in front of an existing day optic, providing the operator with instant nighttime engagement capabilities. This provides extreme flexibility on the battlefield because it means operators do not have to carry a weapon platform dedicated to night use. When the sun sets, the UNS-A3 is simply removed from a pack and clipped in front of the day optic. It is just as easily removed when the sun returns.

The UNS-A3 is appropriate for intermediate / long range rifles. Its refractive lens gathers a large amount of ambient light, disproportionate to its size. The system is carefully collimated (boresighted) at the factory to within 0.5 MOA. This means that any POA/POI shift will be mechanically less than ½ MOA. Depending on the individual rifle’s setup, there may be no deviation. The L3Harris image intensification tube is shock isolated to withstand big bore recoil including .50 BMG. It delivers a stunning amount of light amplification considering the unit’s small size. The power knob doubles as manual gain control, allowing operators to adjust the intensity of the image to the amount of ambient light. A large fin attached to the focus ring provides very easy adjustment in the dark while wearing gloves.

The UNS-A3 is ideal for use with short-medium magnification day optics. While the sweet spot for magnification is between 6-8X, it can easily provide very usable resolution with standard DMR scopes between 2.5-10X. A grown man can be recognized at 700 yards with a ¼ moon.

Knight’s Armament patented Single Interchangeable Battery (SIB) technology allows the UNS-A2 to function off of commonly fielded batteries. It can run for up to 24 hours off a single AA or CR123 battery. The tethered battery cap can be flipped to accommodate either while a rubber cap protects the exposed/unused side. In fact, the highly efficient circuit allows use of a depleted flashlight battery to provide several hours of operation.
