Iroquois Night Fighter and Night Tracker (INFANT)
Abstract
During the reporting period the Army Concept Team in Vietnam evaluated the Iroquois Night Fighter and Night Tracker (INFANT) to determine its combat suitability for stability operations in RVN. The weapons system, which consists of three major subsystems -- the Image Intensifier System, Night Vision (AN/ASQ-132), the UH-1M utility helicopter, and the M21 Armament Subsystem --, was evaluated as a whole. However, emphasis was directed toward the image intensifier system. The general purpose of the evaluation was to assess the military worth of INFANT; specific objectives were to determine the following: system capabilities and limitations, maintainability and reliability, human factors implications, employment methods, impact upon the five functions of land warfare, countermeasures taken against the system, and the effectiveness of US Navy formation lights when used on night attack helicopters.
