Beating 'The Bad Guys' at night

摘要

In an operational area, where contact with "the bad guys" is a likely event, the very process of moving from 'A' to 'B' by night is fraught with danger. It is not surprising that in the campaigns waged in Afghanistan and Iraq, night-vision for the soldier, whether on foot or riding in an MRAP (Mine-Resistant, Ambush-Protected) vehicle has become a paramount requirement.rnProvision of night-vision goggles (NVGs) for the foot soldier and driver's vision enhancer (DVE) equipment for the vehicle-mounted soldier has, thus, become the subject of many urgent orders over the last six years. This equipment is in a state of rapid evolution, so BATTLESPACE makes no apology for re-visiting the subject.
