U.S. Army Order Aviation Night Vision Equipment
The U.S. Army gave ITT Corp. a $19.9 million order for aviator night vision goggles and spare image intensifier tubes.
Details of the contract order from the Army Research, Development & Engineering Command for AN/AVS-6 goggles and MX-10160C intensifiers weren't disclosed.
Expect more MX-10160 tubes to make their way into the commercial market sometime in 2011.

Today, you can find all types of night vision goggles and equipment on the market. Everything from binoculars to thermal cameras is available to the general public.
The first time I become really interested in one was when I saw night vision images of bombings in the Gulf war on television in 1991. It was truly a sight to behold and I never knew you can see so clearly in the night using them.
Most operate in 2 ways. One is using image enhancement and the other is using thermal imaging. The latest models utilize both image enhancement and thermal imaging for better clarity and perception. Typically, you can use a standard model to see someone about 250 feet away in complete darkness.

Hey Vance do you know what you are talking about when it comes to night vision devices? I've read some of your blogs and honestly I don't think you know what you are talking about. Are you a Military Veteran? Or a SWAT team member?
