Comparison of Second and Third Generation Night Vision Goggles in Time-Limited Scenarios

Abstract

This report addresses eight nights of field testing which occurred at three sites (pine canopy, cluttered range, open meadow) in the Deschutes National Forest, OR, during May 1988. The primary objective of these field evaluations was to characterize changes in detection performance of second and third generation Night Vision Goggles. These changes were to be examined as a function of both allowed observation time and progressive user fatigue.
