  5. NIGHT VISION GOGGLE DRIVING OPERATIONSNight Vision Scanning Techniques NVG VGT-05

  6. NIGHT VISION GOGGLE DRIVING OPERATIONSDepth Perception The quality of seeing objects as three-dimensional solids in space. NVG VGT-06

  7. NIGHT VISION GOGGLE DRIVING OPERATIONSDistance Estimation/Depth Perception NVG VGT-07

  8. NIGHT VISION GOGGLE DRIVING OPERATIONSSources of Ambient Light • The Moon • Background Lighting • Artificial Lights • Solar Lights • Lasers NVG VGT-08

  9. NIGHT VISION GOGGLE DRIVING OPERATIONSWhat are Night Vision Goggles Night Vision Gogglesare devices that make an object more visible during periods of low light levels. Their performance is directly related to the amount of light available, such as starlight and moonlight. NVG VGT-09

  10. NIGHT VISION GOGGLE DRIVING OPERATIONSAdvantages Better view of the surrounding area and object identification at night NVGs make it possible to: Read Patrol Provide medical aid Drive Walk Observe the enemy At night without the help of lights NVG VGT-10

  11. Performance is reduced in rain, haze, fog, snow or smoke. Visual acuity is reduced. Limited field of view. Reduced depth perception. Overconfidence. Focal range. NIGHT VISION GOGGLE DRIVING OPERATIONSDisadvantages NVG VGT-11

  12. NIGHT VISION GOGGLE DRIVING OPERATIONSInfrared Illuminator The IR (INFRARED) ILLUMINATOR makes the NVG an active system capable of being detected by THE THREAT. NVG VGT-12

  13. NIGHT VISION GOGGLE DRIVING OPERATIONSGeneral Characteristics • Single-color Viewing • Monochromatic Adaptation • Dark Adaptation • Spatial Disorientation NVG VGT-13

  22. NIGHT VISION GOGGLE DRIVING OPERATIONSEffects of Light • Vehicle Lighting • Instrument Lighting • Lasers • Artificial Lights • Ambient Light Level NVG VGT-16

  23. NIGHT VISION GOGGLE DRIVING OPERATIONSHazard Range Limitation GraphGround Speed limitations NVG VGT-17

  24. NIGHT VISION GOGGLE DRIVING OPERATIONSDriver Preparation • Keep physically fit. • Eat a well-balanced meal. • Get adequate rest. • Avoid self-medication. • Avoid the use of tobacco and alcohol. • Avoid bright lights after dark adaptation. • Avoid bright sunlight during the day. NVG VGT-18

  25. NIGHT VISION GOGGLE DRIVING OPERATIONSDriving with Goggles • Developed through continuous practice. • Awareness of NVG CAPABILITIES and LIMITATIONS is KEY • EMERGENCY PROCEDURES: • - Effects of oncoming headlights • - Tube failure while driving • - Vehicle breakdown procedures • - Low battery light indicator • Speed Discipline • Communication • Assistant Operator Responsibilities NVG VGT-19

  26. NIGHT VISION GOGGLE DRIVING OPERATIONSDriving With The NVG • Phase I: • Drive a vehicle on a designated route in DAYLIGHT conditions. • Phase II: • Drive a vehicle on a designated route at night with vehicle headlights • on (without NVGs). • Phase III: • Perform pre-operational NVG procedures. • Perform vehicle PMCS (before OP) while wearing NVG. • Drive a designated route at night with NVGs. • Identify signs, route markings, ditches, etc. • Perform post-operational NVG procedures. • Perform vehicle PMCS (after OP) while wearing NVGs. SAFETY FIRST !!! NVG VGT-20
