Your Night Vision Goggles are a critical asset. We can upgrade your equipment or provide preventive maintenance, calibration or optical alignment of your existing NVGs. Upgraded goggles are guaranteed to be water, and dust proof. Each upgrade operation includes a free calibration and realignment service. Maintenance can include replacement of damaged optics, electronics, and trouble shooting of Electro-Optical, and Opto- Mechanical parts. Almost all electro-optical systems need calibration and re-alignment after a certain period of time in service. Night vision goggles serving in harsh environments with lots of dust and humidity need re-calibration and preventive maintenance every 16 months. Preventive maintenance can extent the life of goggles up to 100%. www.zodioptics.com
