In addition to a very rugged design, the DTNVS features independent pod shutoff when articulated. This means that when the pods are articulated out away from the eye they shut off eliminating any visible glow and preventing accidental light damage when articulated. This is a particularly helpful feature for users that are using handheld thermal scanners or using a weapon mounted clip-on or thermal device. This also gives the user the option to run only one pod and keep one eye unaided.

Another unique feature to the DTNVS is the low battery indicator light inside the unit. Although, other night vision goggles have low battery indicators, they can widely be affected by temperature. The DTNVS adjusts for cold weather temperatures so the low battery indicator offers a more consistent reading than other units. The low battery indicator warns the user of approx. 30 min of remaining power. Although this is not an exact science and some variance still can be seen this is a huge improvement over other systems that can have huge swings in the actual time a battery lasts after the low battery indicator lights up.

DTNVS use PVS-14 ocular and objective lenses. This makes them familiar to many users and adjustable to each users eyesight. Adjustable ocular lenses are very nice as eyesight can change over time.
