    AN/PVS = Army Navy/ Passive Vision System. Meaning it is passive and does not require active IR light from a IR spotlight or other source to work and magnifies the ambeiant light from stars , moon and such.

    The number following the PVS designates the unit, say AN/PVS-7, 7A, 7B, 7C for example.
