Abstract

A High Resolution Wide Field of View Night Vision Goggle will be designed and fabricated. The goggle will take advantage of commercially available image intensification tube technology which will result in a higher performing, lower cost and more producible NVG than current state of the art Panoramic Night Vision Goggles. In addition, a new helmet connector and adjustment mechanism will be produced which will improve pilot ejection safety and ease of adjustability. BENEFIT: The HRWFOV NVG will be a higher performing wide field of view goggle with lower production cost than current state of the art Panoramic Night Vision Goggles. This will make the goggle more affordable in all applications requiring increased situational awareness at night. All DOD services and many law enforcement applications can take advantage of this development.
