Night Vision Thermal Imaging Systems Performance Model
Scope NVTherm (Night Vision Thermal Imaging System Performance Model) is a PC based computer program which models parallel scan, serial scan, and staring thermal imagers that operate in the mid and far infrared spectral bands (3 to 12 micrometers wavelength). The model can only be used for thermal imagers which sense emitted, infrared light. NVTherm predicts the Minimum Resolvable Temperature D...

متن کاملA strategy for in-flight measurements of physiology of pilots of high-performance fighter aircraft.
Some pilots flying modern high-performance fighter aircraft develop "hypoxia-like" incidents characterized by short periods of confusion and cognitive impairment. The problem is serious and recently led to the grounding of a fleet of aircraft. Extensive discussions of the incidents have taken place but some people believe that there is inadequate data to determine the cause. There is a tremendo...
متن کاملOperational Experience and Research Directions in Military Night Vision Equipment
Over the last twenty years, significant progress has been made in the technical development of night vision equipment. There are a number of different approaches. Image intensifiers amplify ambient light so that it can be presented via phosphor displays including those embedded within night vision goggles. This technology relies upon light from the stars or moon, as well as from man-made source...
متن کاملThe Operational Strengths and Weaknesses of Military Night Vision Equipment
The UK Ministry of Defence (2003) recently argued that the use of night vision equipment improves ‘shared situation awareness’ and ‘greatly enhanced operational effectiveness... in surveillance and target acquisition in close combat’. They are ‘particularly effective in the urban environment’ and in support of ‘marshalling and logistic maneuvers at night’. However, there is good evidence to sug...
