The PSQ-20 is a night vision goggles with combine night vision and thermal vision, in the same size of the pvs-14. But to be used it must be mounted in a new rhino arm. The PSQ-20 mount is composed of a mount, a arm and a battery pack.

The mount is in 2 parts, the front where you can fix the arm and back where the LPBP is connected to powered the NVG (both are link by a wire which passed inside the helmet shell)
