Development and Evaluation of the Panoramic Night Vision Goggle

Abstract

A novel approach to significantly increasing the field of view (FOV) of night vision goggles (NVGs) has been developed and demonstrated. This approach uses four image intensifier tubes instead of the usual two to produce a very wide 100 degree horizontal by about 40 degree vertical FOV. A conceptual working model, designated the Panoramic NVG, has been fabricated and evaluated.
