In the years since 2001 assymetrical warfare has become thecombat norm. Armies are no longer facing off across wide openspaces; they are searching out their adversaries in villages andtowns, picking their way through lookers-on, shoppers and schoolchildren. Zero collateral damage is demanded by the generalpublic on both sides of the conCict and so clear identiBcation ofthe enemy has become vital. Mistaking a school bus Blled withchildren for a truck full of terrorists is intolerable, even at night.

And so armies have invested heavily to procure ever betternight-vision systems, whether they be cooled infrared, uncooledinfrared, medium or long wave, image intensiBers or thermal.Some are designed to be target sights and others are wearable,generally worn by the soldier on his helmet either in front of hiseyes or just to the side of one eye. But in this booklet we will beconcentrating on the portable types, that are either hand-held ortripod-mounted.

And as we mark the 100th anniversary this year of the tragedythat was World War 1, this booklet will show you not only how farthe simple binocular of yore has come, but even how far it hascome in the past decade.

PORTABLE NIGHT VISION SYSTEMS


Thermal, light intensifying, cooled, uncooled, mid-wave infrared, long-wave infrared, single pulse, multi-pulse: what is the difference between

these various different technologies that can be used to see at night?ermal infrared: this technology relies on the fact that a human body

or a recently switched off engine will emit heat. With this technologysensors capture the heat and allow the viewer to see an image of whateverit is that is emitting the heat without emitting anything itself. e system isthus passive.

Light intensi!er: there is usually always a little bit of light, even from themoon or stars, so these systems intensify the little light that there is to givean image. However, they will not function in a dark cave for example.

Long-wave infrared (LWIR) is less sensitive to blooming, dust and fogand and is thus preferred on the battleBeld. It can be used day or night and isnot sensitive to the sun. e image treatment technology is slightly morecomplex than in MWIR systems.

Mid-wave infrared (MWIR) can see further with a smaller lens and isthus more compact. is technology is preferred in hot damp conditions butis sensitive to the sun.

Because LWIR and MWIR are based on different technologies there areno systems which combine the two but ales, which claims to be the onlycompany that offers both these technologies, says combining the two issomething they may look at in the future.

e market is split almost evenly 50/50 between the two technologies.Cooled: A quantic detector must be cooled to -200°C. To achieve this the

electronic chip is placed on a small refrigerating unit. e photon hits thedetector, rips off an electron which is transformed into an electric currentand the latter is what is detected. A cooled system takes up to 3-8 minutes tobecome operational aer it is switched on. ese systems with their shortfocal length are used to see great distances away and are particularly useful inhot and humid conditions. ey are more expensive than uncooled systems.

Uncooled: this works with a microbolometer — an infrared imagingsensor that converts infrared radiation into visible images by heating thephoton when it hits the detector. is system is less expensive, starts upquickly and makes less noise than a cooled system. e major difference,however, is that the microbolometer is less sensitive than a quantic detectorand so the system needs to have a bigger lens in order to capture more light.is technology is thus more adapted to seeing closer i.e. up to 1 km away.

However, few armies have both cooled and uncooled systems. eygenerally opt for either one or the other.

Mono-function: a pair of binoculars which are a simple thermal imagerallowing the user to see camouCage during the day and see at night.Because there is no stereoscopic vision the image seen by the user willhave no depth of Beld.

Quickie guide



Multi-function: in addition to the functions offered by the mono-function, these systems also allow include a GPS so that the user knowswhere he is, has a magnetic compass so that the user knows in whichdirection the target lies and a laser telemetry system to know how far awaythe target is. At the press of a button the user will get all the coordinates ofthe target. He can send these to his commanding officer together with aphotograph of what he can see. e systems are thus part of a network-centric battleBeld.

Most night-vision systems sold today are multi-function.Laser telemetry systems: ere are two technologies: single pulse in

which just one powerful pulse is sent and the distance is measured by thetime it takes to bounce back to the user; with this system it does not matterif the target or the user are moving. With a multi-pulse system in whichmany less powerful pulses are sent, the measurement will be inaccurate ifthe target and/or user are moving.

Detection, recognition and identiBcation: what's the difference?roughout this booklet you will read references to the range at which

objects can be detected, recognised or identiBed. e difference betweenthem is as follows:

Detection: the viewer can see that there is something that is different fromthe spectral Beld around it. And in order to detect if an object is present ornot, its critical dimensions needs to be covered by 1.5 or more pixels.

Recognition: the viewer can see that this something is a person, forexample, as opposed to an animal or any other object. In order torecognise an object it needs to be subtended by at least 6 pixels across itscritical dimension.

Identi!cation: the viewer can see sufficiently well to be able to identifythe object as “friend or foe”. In order to do this the critical dimension of theobject in question needs to be subtended by at least 12 pixels.

This compact lightweight and rugged nightvision monocle is operated on a single

AAA battery and can be either hand-held,head-mounted or weapon mounted. Aselsanclaims that the advantage of a monocular isthat the user can make an instant transition toambient light viewing because the pupil of theeye uncovered by the monocular is alreadydilated. When using standard binoculars ittakes one minute for the pupils to dilate aerthe goggle is removed during which time theuser may be night blind.

e A100, which has a built in IRilluminator, can be immersed in 1 metre ofwater for up to 30 minutes.

The SENVG is a rePned version of the originalAN/PSQ-20 ENVG system Exelis delivered on the

U.S. Army's ENVG (Enhanced Night Vision Goggle) Iprogramme, bringing signiPcant improvements inproducibility, Peld of view, and life cycle costs. It is amonocular passive night vision device which allowssoldiers to obtain a clear colour picture.

e SENVG combines an image intensiPed (I2) tubeand infrared (IR) micro-bolometer into a compactmonocular weighing less than 907 grammes. e 3-battery pack provides power for helmet-mounted orhand-held use. e fusion of the I2 and IR imagerymethods, which can also be used separately, providethe soldier with greater situational awareness due toimproved threat detection under most battlePeldenvironments and expanded viewing capability frombright light conditions to total darkness and throughbattlePeld obscurants. e device can pick-up infra-redsignatures from targets even if they are partially hiddenbehind other objects or even if they are no longerthere: heat le on a wall from somebody who'drecently been leaning on it, for example.

e device can be modiPed to allow soldiers toconnect to the battlePeld network and receive data andvideo feed into their goggles and could be connected toa smartphone to allow the user to access applicationssuch as maps and gunshot detection programmes.

e U.S. Army has ordered 3,800 SENVGs inaddition to the 12,600 ENVGs it ordered in twocontracts in 2005 and 2009.

The BNVD is a compact, dual tube Gen3 goggle toreplace the legacy and battle-proven AN/PVS-15 in

the United States Special Operations Command(USSOCOM) inventory. At just under 450 grammes, thisdevice is almost as light as a monocular, but offers manyof the same features as much heavier systems. L-3Warrior System worked directly with Special OperationsForces on their design to increase system resolution,signiPcantly reduce headborne weight, improve thedevice's centre of gravity, provide additional operationalutility, and improve overall situational awareness.

e BNVD is equipped with L-3′s latest MX-10160Gen3 image intensiPer tubes allowing operators toadjust the brightness of their image as situations on theground dictate by simply rotating the power button.ere is no integral infrared illuminator on the BNVD asits usefulness was outweighed by the extra weight andsize it would imply.

e BNVD can run off a single AA battery and anoptional 4 cell battery pack provides ≥50 hrs ofperformance. ere is a low battery indicator visible inthe optic when more or less 10 minutes of power remain.

e binoculars rotate in such a way that they can beused as a monocular if the user so requires. Viewingthrough two tubes simultaneously improves depthperception but monocular conPgurations allow for easein transitioning between the various lighting conditionsthat oen occur on the battlePeld.

Coral-CR, known as Amit in Israel, andwhich has been selected by several NATO

countries, differs from Coral-Z in that it alsohas target acquisition capabilities.

Like its sister device it has a continuous IRoptical and digital zoom but it includes an eye-safe laser rangefinder, day CCD cameras, adigital magnetic compass and an integral GPS.

The device provides real-time targetacquisition and target coordinate calculationand will then transmit the target data to anexternal device. It will also store both thetarget's image and data.

As an option, the Coral-CR can be fittedwith a x2 telescope, an integral laser pointer ora clip-on laser pointer.

Its range performance is the same as for itssister device.

Even smaller than the Dragon Multi, theDragon C is an ultra-lightweight multi-

purpose thermal sight that provides all roundcapability for the dismounted close combatsoldier. It can be used as a hand heldobservation/surveillance sight, as a clip-onthermal weapon sight or as a stand-alonethermal weapon sight.

Size and weight were of paramount impor-tance when Qioptiq designed Dragon C specifi-cally for urban use or within compounds. Itsrange is therefore limited as a long range is un-necessary for the mission.

Dragon C can be hand held but also inte-grated with a wide range of optical day sights inthe x1 – x4 magnification.

It does not have a laser range finder.Dragon C was initially marketed in 2012.

As is name suggests, this 450g imager(weight without batteries) can be used in a

multitude of ways. It can be hand held orhelmet mounted, but can also be used as astand-alone thermal weapon sight or beintegrated in-line with a wide range of opticalday sights in the range of x1 – x4 magnification.

Dragon Multi was developed in response toan international tender which specified multi-use as one of the criteria. Qioptiq also kept inmind users' repeated requests that size andweight should be minimal whilst power con-sumption be improved.

Dragon Multi was launched on the interna-tional market in 2013.

All About Power


This system combines an image intensified (I2)tube and infrared (IR) micro-bolometer into a

compact monocular providing the soldier with threemodes of operation: image intensifier only, thermalonly, and fused image intensifier/thermal. This allowsthe soldier to keep the same goggles even when hissituation changes: when dust, heavy rain, fog, snow,dense foliage, or dark indoor conditions limit I2capabilities, he can switch to the IR thermal modewhich is not dependent on light at all. However as IRdoes not produce the same level of detail as I2 tubes,recognition capabilities become limited. By using thetwo technologies simultaneously in the DSNVG thesoldier gets all the benefits of I² and a thermal overlayand thus has the capability of detecting threats invirtually any environment whilst keeping himselfdiscreet as he no longer needs to use an IR illuminatorwhich could give his position away to any adversarywith a night vision device.

Exelis has kept the DSNVG's controls simple: thereis an I2 control knob which also serves as gain controland to switch overlay mode, a thermal control knobwhich also controls brightness and switches polarity,and an IR illuminator On/Off paddle.

The DSNVG is powered by four standard AA bat-teries housed in a separate battery module attacheddirectly to the imager for use as a hand-held device, orto the rear of the helmet mount.

Felis is the newest product in OIPSensor System's night vision devices. It

is a lightweight (505 grammes without itssingle AA battery), intelligent, passivenight vision goggle which can be used as ahand-held observation system or as heador helmet-mounted goggles.

The 51º field of view reduces the tunneleffect for the user. A light sensor automat-ically switches off the goggles when theyare submitted to high light levels andswitches on again automatically when thelight level drops.

Felis has a built-in IR illuminator andan in-eyepiece IR Led On indicator.

Options include x3 and x4 lenses.

The Ground Panoramic Night Vision Goggle(GPNVG-18) is one of the biggest innovations in

night vision technology. The aim is to provide theoperator with more information under goggles,allowing him to more quickly move through theOODA Loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act).

The most striking feature of the GPNVG-18 is thefour separate image intensifier tubes with four sepa-rate objective lenses, the whole package weighing justover 700 grammes which is considerably lighter thanmany monoculars!

The central two lenses point forward like tradi-tional dual-tube goggles, giving the operator moredepth perception, while the tubes on either side pointoutward from the centre to increase peripheral view.The two tubes on the right and the two on the left arespliced at the eyepieces. The operator sees the imagesfrom the two outer tubes slightly overlapping those ofthe two central ones providing him with an unprece-dented 97° field of view.

The two right and two left tubes are housed inmerged assemblies but can be detached and operatedas independent handheld viewers.

The GPNVG-18 is powered by a remote batterypack, tethered to the unit via a standard cable.

Loris is a passive, image intensifying, modular,monocular, night vision device that can be used

stand alone, with face mask or helmet mount, ormounted on a weapon. With it the user canrecognise a standing man at distances of up tomore than 200m at night and can detect nearinfrared light, for instance from laser pointers.

An infrared illuminator (invisible for the nakedhuman eye) built into the sight improves close dis-tance operations such as map reading or delicatemanual work while ambient light is very low oreven not present. A visible red light in the eyepieceof the sight indicates that the infrared illuminatoris switched on, warning the user that the emittedinfrared light can be detected by the adversary'snight vision equipment.

An integrated light sensor switches off the sys-tem automatically if submitted to high light levels.When the light returns to acceptable light levels,the sight will switch on again. This automaticswitch-off feature can be de-activated.

Enhanced optics permit future integration oflatest technology image intensifier tubes.

A small hole in the protection cap allows for useof Loris in daylight, notably for training purposes.

This multi-function device combines day and nightviewing, measuring and geo-location functions into a

compact, user-friendly device that weighs less than 1.2kgincluding its commercially available batteries.

Moskito measures range, azimuth and vertical angle. Inaddition, it incorporates the latest image intensifier tech-nology for night time viewing, including self-regulation todifferent levels of brightness.

Options include a GPS receiver, Bluetooth module andcable for data transfer to C4I systems. The laserrangefinder, and day and night channel are matched toeach other and optimized for close and medium range ap-plications up to 2,500 m.O

The core of the Moskito is a x5 monocular with an in-tegrated class 1 eye-safe laser rangefinder that can meas-ure a 2.3×2.3m target (NATO target) at 10,000m. Thelaser wavelength is 1,550 nanometres, making it invisibleto night-vision devices. The rangefinder is very fast, tak-ing between 0.4 and 0.9 seconds per measurement, andtwo CR123A batteries will provide power for over 5,000measurements.

The Moskito can also be fitted with the TACS-M clip-on infrared device to combine the known benefits pro-vided by I² and infrared night vision.

In addition, the BE20, which will increase the distancemeasurement onto a NATO target from 4,000m to over8,000m, can be mounted on all Moskitos delivered from2012 onwards without modification. For models prior to2012, a slight in-house modification is necessary. Thestandard magnification has been increased to provide a25% improvement in detection range and a 35% improve-ment in identification range: Daychannel: from x5 to x8

Nightchannel: from x3 to x4.8Moskito has been chosen by the UK as the new Com-

The hand-held Nestor was developed by Cassidian Optronics incooperation with its subsidiary Cassidian Optronics (Pty) Ltd

in South Africa and has been in production since 2004/2005. Thislong-range day and night target observation and localizationdevice was designed to meet new army requirements for hand-heldtarget acquisition systems in 2004, and is especially adapted tomountain infantry purposes. International artillery requirementswere also kept in mind during the design process.

Nestor uses GPS to pinpoint its position. A digital magneticcompass enables the user to determine the azimuth and elevation.Featuring OPO (optical parametric oscillator) technology, the inte-grated eye-safe laser range-finding module determines the exactdistance to the objective. This enables long-range recon patrols, ar-tillery scout observers and special forces to provide critical infor-mation to mission commanders.

Nestor's efficient cooled thermal image device makes it largerand heavier than its uncooled “sister” Opus-H.

NESTOR is in service with several European armed forces, in-cluding Germany's Bundeswehr, and several European borderguards as well as undisclosed Near and Far East customers.

The OPUS-H was developed as a lighter, uncooled systemparallel to the cooled NESTOR system. The first OPUS-H

binoculars were delivered in 2007 to armed forces in a number ofundisclosed countries and to several border guard units especiallyin Eastern Europe.

It features a direct-view day optical channel and an uncooled IRchannel, both of which are viewable through a binocular eyepiece.Other appointments include a laser rangefinder, GPS, digitalmagnetic compass and a near-infrared digital camera.

The device has a 640 x 480 pixel microbolometer to providecrisp images at night and the direct-view optics provide crystal-clear day images even when the unit lacks power. The class 1,eye-safe laser rangefinder is safe under all conditions. It effectivelydetermines ranges even beyond 20 km. The OPUS-H’s single-pulselaser technology increases the probability of ranging to distanttargets without requiring tripod stabilization. The rangefinderdetects and displays up to three targets at any range and permitsuser-adjustable minimum range gates. In combination with theintegrated digital compass and GPS system, it also enables targetacquisition.

The near-infrared and IR cameras provide daytime and night-time images of targets that may be transmitted via a high-speedserial interface to command & control and to digital mappingsystems. The positional data for target verification and mappingare also sent. The system is compatible with GPS systems such asPLGR, so it may be interfaced with external GPS systems.

The newest member of the SOPHIE family was introduced inSeptember 2013. Weighing in at class-leading, fully-

operational weight of only 1.58kg, SOPHIE Lite can be deployedin a variety of operational scenarios by both military and civilusers. Operational roles for SOPHIE Lite include forceprotection, forward observation, forward air control, covertsurveillance, asset protection and homeland security.

SOPHIE Lite allows the user to detect, recognise, identify andlocate targets. It can be used stand alone to provide all necessarytarget location data or can be integrated into a separate battle-field management system.

Since the launch of SOPHIE UF in 2009, Thales had workedto evolve the product in line with customer needs, reducing theweight from 3.5kg then to 1.58kg for SOPHIE Lite.

The switch from standard optical to digital technologieshelped both reduce the weight and enhance the image delivered.Thales says it believed the combination of functionality andspecification would extend the appeal of SOPHIE Lite to abroader user base, including security teams and mobile perime-ter guards; SOPHIE Lite is small enough to fit in the glove com-partment of even a standard saloon car, for instance.

SOPHIE Lite enables a person to be detected in daytime ataround 6km and at night using the thermal imager at around2km, and can be recognised at 3km during the day and around1km at night.

The range for vehicle detection is up to 10km during the dayand just under 5km at night, and for vehicle recognition is up to6km during the day and up to 2km at night.

There are two models of the TiCAM 750: MR (mediumrange) and LR (long range). Both will detect a man at

over 2 kilometres but the MR is based on a 384x288detector while the LR has a 640x480 detector.

This handheld thermal imager is designed for militaryand civilian applications including special forces, search &rescue, police, border security, target acquisition, counterdrug operation, park rangers monitoring wildlife/illegalgame hunters, VIP protection and general situationalawareness in the field.

The device has rubber over-moulding which makes itboth waterproof and buoyant and enables operation withor without gloves.

TiCAM 750 can get 8 hours of continuous fieldoperation from 4 x AA batteries without the need forexternal batteries or battery packs.

Amongst the optional features is a range extender,compatible and interchangeable with both the medium andlong range models, which attaches to the front of TiCAMvia a bayonet attachment. This optical add-on doubles thefocal length of TiCAM to 150mm for increased detection,recognition and identification performance.

TiCAM records up to 11 hours of high quality video (48hours on lower resolution), or over 60,000 still images. Thedata can be downloaded onto a PC or USB memory stickand then be deleted as necessary. The unit also has astandard BNC video which can be connected to anauxiliary third party screen recorder.

TiCAM 750 can optionally include a built-in GPS,digital magnetic compass and laser target marker.

The TLS-40 series were designed by Cassidian Optronics as nextgeneration hand-held systems to meet the newest

requirements of military and security forces, who want lightweightsystems, offering the user fast surveillance and reconnaissancecapabilities and clear identification for modern mission scenariosand fast data exchange.

Although the series provides range, bearing and elevation totarget it can happen that the shot falls short of the target.In that case the “fall-of-shot” mode provides fire correctioncapability to make an automatic correction ensuring the secondshot hits the target.

The TLS40i is a compact, lightweight high performanceday/night hand-held target location device which combines a long-range laser rangefinder, observation day channel, image intensifiednight channel, GPS, digital compass and optional digital camerainto a compact package which weighs less than 2kg, commercialCR123 batteries included.

The TLS40ir includes an uncooled infrared camera and is thususable in scenarios with difficult visibility conditions.

The TLS 40 series have already been bought by a number ofundisclosed customers.

The PVS-14 is the standard-issue night visionoptic serving US forces. It can be hand-held,

helmet or weapon-mounted. As a monocular, thePVS-14 provides night vision aid to one of the user’seyes, leaving the other to retain its natural night-adapted vision which is important when theoperators needs the ability to instantly switchbetween night vision and white light as the situationdevelops.

The TNV/PVS-14 is a U.S.-made generation 3night vision monocular based on the standard issueAN/PVS-14. TNVC technicians assemble theTNV/PVS-14 according to U.S. military guide linesusing factory-new parts and new-production L3Gen3 image intensifier tubes which meet current U.S.Military OMNI VIII contract specifications. Howeverthe entire TNV/PVS-14 system cannot be Milspecclassified because it is assembled by TNVC at its fa-cility, and only fully factory-assembled L3 and ITTsystems, built for a U.S. military contract can be qual-ified as Milspec. However, TNV claims theTNV/PVS-14 provides the same performance.

The TNV/PVS-14 is available in severalcolours/finishes notably a professional factoryfinish camouflage:

MulticamTM which is the most popular patternon the battlefield.

The company offers the monocular in several con-figurations so the end user gets what he wants, whilenot paying for accessories he does not need.

The TNV/Sentinel BNVS was designed in directresponse to the ground deployment of ANVIS

Aviation Goggles, and their subsequent breakage asthey were not designed to be deployed outside theprotection of a cockpit and so were not ruggedenough for ground missions.

Adams Industries, the OEM, developed theSentinel programme as a way to provide groundforces with an up-armoured version of these ANVISgoggles which Special Operations Forces had longused in ground missions because of the superiorperformance of the optics and tubes compared toconventional systems.

The Sentinel features an ultra-rugged machinedcomposite housing, bolstered by aluminium frontand rear plates on the bridge. It also has a user-swappable mount interface and can be field-adaptedto either standard dovetail mounts or ANVIS-Styleball detent mounts. Depending on theconfiguration, the Sentinel is powered either by asingle CR123 battery or a remote battery pack.

The two members of the Vector Nite family -- the VectorIV Nite and the Vector 21 Nite – are like identical twins,

except that the Vector IV has a range for distancemeasurements up to 6 km while the Vector 21 Nite increasesthis range up to 12 km.

Vector Nite incorporates a class 1 eye-safe laserrangefinder invisible to image intensification devices withwhich the adversary might be equipped. It has two imageintensifying tubes and two x7 magnifying eyepieces with42mm lenses and large exit pupils of 6 mm diameter so thatboth eyes receive as much light as possible. The advantage ofthe wide aperture 42mm lenses are that images that are clearand bright - even when ambient lighting is challenging. Thebinoculars also incorporate a digital magnetic compass withmagnetic and gravitation sensors for inclination and bankand full three dimensional capabilities to ensure correctreadings even in inclined and tilted positions.

In daylight mode, the binocular's field of view is 6.75°(120 mils) at x7 magnification.

At night, in image intensified mode, Vector Nite has amonocular field of view of 8° (142 mils) at x4.5magnification.

Vipir-2S was one of the first thermalimagers developed. Although it has

been on the market since 2005 and pre-dates the Dragon range it is still fullycapable of delivering what the end-userwanted, i.e. medium-range surveillanceand target observation, and has been soldto 56 countries worldwide.

This hand-held thermal surveillancesight is part of a family of compact andlightweight thermal sights which use lowpower and uncooled IR cameratechnology. It provides x2.7 magnificationand has a x2 electronic zoom.

VIPIR-2S is powered by four standardcommercially available batteries which willgive it 7 hours of continuous operation.

Thermal Eye delivers advanced thermal imagingtechnology for reconnaissance, surveillance and first

responder missions when there is low or no light available.The X-200xp has advanced significantly beyond its

X100 predecessor. Weighing only 369 grammes theThermal Eye offers 50% greater stand-off-range than theprevious generation’s unit and can detect human activityat up to 450 metres in complete darkness.

The X200xp also has improved image processing toprovide greater scene detail and improved clarity andsharpness in challenging field conditions such as dust,smoke and black-out conditions while preventing ablooming effect from nearby lights, a common issue inimage intensification cameras. The 30-hertz, 30-µmdetector ensures not only a fast turn-on time, but alsoreal-time video imaging.

It operates on standard AA batteries.
