The new night vision goggles give the following advantages:
- Soldiers will no longer need to switch between night vision goggles and weapon-mounted thermal sights to engage an enemy.
- Wireless technology allows a soldier to “see” what the rifle “sees,” which negates the need to look through a weapons sight.
- Ultra-sharp images remove the need to ‘paint’ targets with lasers.
- The new technology does a better job of seeing “through” obstacles “like dense foliage.”
- ENVG III/FWS-I weigh less than previous iterations of the technology.
A monocular used by troops even allows them to “shoot from around a building corner” or “above their heads with accuracy while safely tucked behind a giant concrete barrier,” Fox News reported.
“That’s an incredible advantage,” Ms. Barrie said. “That sort of precision, the ability to be able to see so precisely with such clarity, will really enable our soldiers to distinguish between someone who’s a threat and not a threat. … It doesn’t really get much better than that.”
So, what do the Iranians have? Maybe the Norks are smart to surrender (because that is in fact what they're doing), as we would fight them non stop 24/7 with these once the festivities began.
Iran has allah to guide the rounds that they spray at random.
ReplyDeleteAloha Snackbar! (ululation by the women begins)
Deletedo them be ululating mystery women?
DeleteHow fragile is the wireless technology...can it be interfered with using technology?
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing footage of the Tet Offensive where a bunch of
ReplyDeletesoldiers were hunkered behind a short block wall. They were
raising their M-16s over their heads doing a spray and pray.
This would allow our soldiers to actually see what they are
aiming at. The ability to kill the enemy without exposing
a soldier will save lives.
wireless means the other guy knows what your guy knows and he knows where your guy is and that he is there. be better off with a wire or fiber optic link to the weapon and helmet mounted sight. and what about the power supply? heavy assed batteries??? lose it.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure this new technology will be California-approved "eco-friendly," so you can expect soldiers to have miniature windmills on their helmets and solar panels on their backs.
ReplyDeleteThey'll only be allowed to shoot when the wind is blowing or the sun is shining, but the environmental impact will be greatly lessened!
Oh, it's for seeing in the dark? Sorry, can't do that. Refer to the modern gas can design for insight!
