Night Sights with Night Vision Gadgets

Posted: Apr 06, 2011 |

]]>

Many of us enjoy the great outdoors even at night. Night sights are popular gadgets these days. It’s like playing like a real soldier with the use of a night vision device.

Night vision devices were first used in World War II. They came into wide use during the Vietnam War. The technology has developed greatly since their introduction, leading to several “generations” of night vision equipment along with an increase in performance and a decrease in price.

A night vision device (NVD) is an optical instrument that allows images to be produced in levels of light that is approaching total darkness. They are most often used by military and law enforcement agencies but are available to civilian users as well. The term usually refers to a complete unit, including an image intensifier tube, a protective and generally water-resistant housing and some type of mooting system. Many NVDs also include sacrificial lenses, IR illuminators and telescopic lenses.

Night vision Applications ranges from Paintball, Camping and boating to Cave Exploration and Fire and Rescue. It is also from Night Vision Surveillance and Home Land security to Criminal Investigation; from Border Patrol and Nite Reconnaissance to Tactical Night vision and Special Forces Operations.

ATN is a leading manufacturer of precision optics that includes Night Vision, Daytime Scopes, Thermal Imaging and Binoculars. ATN Corporation develops, produces and supplies the world’s largest line of Night Vision Devices. ATN delivers superior, high-performance:

The ATN PS22 will convert your Daytime Scope into Night Vision Scope and the ATN NVM-14 Multi-Purpose Night Vision Monocular is proven to be an invaluable tool for your military unit.

Evolution of Night Vision Device:

? First Generation devices- introduced during the Vietnam War. Examples are: AN/PVS-2 Starlight Scope, Yukon Spartan NV monocular and Yukon Sentinal rifle sight.
? Second Generation devices-features an improved image-intensifier tube utilizing micro-channel plat (MCP) with an S-25 photocathode – resulting to a much brighter image, especially around the edges of the lens. Samples are: AN/PVS-4, AN/PVS-5, SUPERGEN.
? Third Generation device-Night vision systems maintain the MCP from Gen II but now use a photocathode made with gallium arsenide which further improves image resolution. In addition, the MPC is coated with an ion also improved to around 30,000-50,000x. Samples are: AN/PVS-7, AN/NVS-7, AN/PVS-10, AN/PVS-14, AN/PNVS-14, and CNVS-4949.

How night vision works

The instrument makes use of a light amplifier to enhance the little light there is at night (moon, stars) and the infrared illuminator supplies an infrared beam of light to light up the scene (not visible to animals) and finally the image is projected in shades of green onto a phosphoric screen inside the instrument. The fragile nature of the components makes it imperative to use the instrument as intended and not when there’s an abundance of light available (like with a spotlight).

Shooting a BCM Mk12 Mod1 Special Purpose Rifle (SPR) with Surefire silencer using a PVS-14 Night Vision monocular and a PEQ-2A IR Laser/Illuminator to light up and aim at the steel silhouette target 100 yards downrange. This setup kicks some serious ass!! Rifle is Bravo Company Manufacturing (BCM) Mk12 Mod1 style upper with BCM bolt carrier group, PRI “Gas Buster” charging handle, KAC FF RAS rail system, Surefire muzzle brake and FA556-212 sound suppressor, NightForce NXS 2.5-10X24mm variable power scope, sitting on top a BCM lower with Magpul MIAD grip, CTR stock, and the amazing Geiselle 2-stage SSA trigger. Also, I learned a lot from this trip to the range about filming with night vision, IR lasers, and shooting all at the same time: it’s a bitch!! But I’ll get better at it and hopefully will put together some better footage my next go-around. As far as quality goes, the camera just does NOT do the PVS-14 night vision monocular any justice at all. In person, my ITT Night Enforcer PVS-14 is much, MUCH better quality and has a much sharper image than you’re seeing here. So please keep that in mind. Thanks! Semper Fi!
