Next Generation Night Vision Imaging Technology (Special Operations Command)
Abstract
Test low-light camera technology for applications in next generation Special Operations Forces Ground Mobility Visual Augmentation Systems in place of Image Intensification Tube technology. These image fusion components will be integrated into handheld, head worn, and weapon-mounted night-vision systems. The primary efficiencies are to demonstrate improvement in resolution from the current state of 40 line pairs/ millimeter (lp/mm) to a minimum of 50 lp/mm, reduce power consumption from three watts to 1.5 watts or less, increase the detection and identification ranges, and provide better combat security.
