Abstract

Although research and development in the advancement of night vision technologies has been in progress since the early stages of World War II, it was not until the early 1960's that the Army launched an extensive effort to develop equipment that would enable the individual soldier to move and fight at night with efficiencies equaling his present daylight capabilities. Since that time the mission of the U. S. Army's Electronics Research and Development Command's Night Vision and Electro-Optics Laboratories (NV&EOL) has expanded to include night vision not only for the individual soldier but all armored vehicles, Army aircraft, and anti-armor missile systems. Further adaptation of this militarily developed technology is being made at an astounding rate to aid other scientists in carrying out their diverse research experiments.
