🌑 ADAPTIVE NIGHT VISION APPLICATIONS (ANVA)

ADVANCED 5-HOUR NVG PERFORMANCE COURSE ACROSS FULL TRAINING COMPLEX

OPERATE WITH CONFIDENCE WHEN VISIBILITY DISAPPEARS.
ANVA IS AN IMMERSIVE, PERFORMANCE-FOCUSED NIGHT VISION COURSE FOR SEASONED SHOOTERS WHO ALREADY UNDERSTAND THE FUNDAMENTALS OF NVG SYSTEMS AND ARE READY TO TEST THOSE SKILLS UNDER REALISTIC, HIGH-CONSEQUENCE CONDITIONS.

THIS IS NOT A STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONAL CLASS — IT’S A SCENARIO-DRIVEN ENVIRONMENT WHERE YOU’LL MANEUVER, ENGAGE, AND PROBLEM-SOLVE USING YOUR OWN NVG GEAR ACROSS AFI’S FULL TRAINING COMPLEX: VEHICLES, PATROL LANES, BARRICADES, CONFINED SPACES, AND OBSTACLES. INSTRUCTION IS MINIMAL. EXPECTATIONS ARE HIGH. YOU’RE HERE TO RUN YOUR KIT — NOT BE TOLD HOW IT WORKS.
