Poland receives first third-generation night-vision monocular for Pope visit
Article Abstract:
The first examples of the Monokular Uniwersalny Gen 3 (MU-3) night-vision monocular (NVM), developed and produced by the PCO company (Warsaw, Poland), were delivered to Poland's Government Protection Office (BOR) for its reaction squad in May 2006 to cover the visit of Pope Benedict XVI to Poland. The MU-3 is a single-tube advanced night-vision device that could be used in a helmet-mounted application (intended to fit all helmet types) in either monocular or binocular configuration.
