This report discusses the specifications, characteristics, applications, benefits, and costs of the AN/PVS-5 simulator prototype. The AN/PVS-5 simulator is a low-cost item consisting of the standard faceplate (without electrical components) and cushion with a sheet metal and filter insert that does not use batteries, which are the highest life cycle costs for NVG operations. The NVG is simple and easy to use, and durable with little or no maintenance requirements. It is designed for daytime training - indoors or outside as long as the ambient light is at photopic level. The device effectively simulates most NVG conditions to include a 40 degree field-of-view, reduced acuity, loss of peripheral vision, loss of color cues, added out-of-balance weight, closed-in feeling around the face, etc. Keywords: Night vision goggles, AN/PVS-5, Simulator, Training simulator.
