NIGHT VISION GOGGLE DRIVING OPERATIONS Sources of Ambient Light NVG VGT-08 The Moon Background Lighting Artificial Lights Solar Lights Lasers

NIGHT VISION GOGGLE DRIVING OPERATIONS What are Night Vision Goggles NVG VGT-09 Night Vision Goggles are 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.

NIGHT VISION GOGGLE DRIVING OPERATIONS Advantages NVG VGT-10 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

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

NIGHT VISION GOGGLE DRIVING OPERATIONS Driver Preparation NVG VGT-18 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.

NIGHT VISION GOGGLE DRIVING OPERATIONS Driving with Goggles NVG VGT-19 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

NIGHT VISION GOGGLE DRIVING OPERATIONS Driving With The NVG NVG VGT-20 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 !!!
