Night Vision Pre-Conference Summit,
Morning Of 3rd June 2008

Optimise Soldier Targeting And Manoeuvrability Under Dark

YOUR CHALLENGE...

Night falls and the enemy encroaches on your encampment. Night patrol is not equipped with the latest night vision goggles and ground sensors won’t pick up the incoming enemy units for another 100 feet, by which time it is too late and your camp is overrun! Early detection and identification of the enemy would have prevented loss of life. In passive and active engagement of the enemy the best night vision equipment puts your soldiers at an advantage and could save their lives. But which technologies should you invest in?
